TY - JOUR AU - Dr. Muhammad Irfan Ahmad , PY - 2025/10/21 Y2 - 2026/06/10 TI - The Impact of Orientalists on Muslim Society: An Analytical Study JF - ` JA - ASSAJ VL - 4 IS - 02 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://www.assajournal.com/index.php/36/article/view/1007 SP - 799-807 AB - <p><em>This research paper analyzed to the Orientalist movement, revealing it as not merely an academic pursuit but a complex system of power and dominance that profoundly impacted Muslims societies. By portraying the east as the inferior other orientalism created a deep seated cultural divide. Its influence extended across educational institutions, religious thought, social structures and political systems, leading to a significant crisis of identity within the Muslim world. While it inadvertently spurred a critical study of Islamic sciences, its primary legacy was shaping a narrative that served colonial interests. Today its effects persist in modern forms like Post Orientalism, which continues to propagate stereotypes through media, social media and popular culture.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>: Colonialism, Intellectual Impact, Islamic Studies Muslim Societies, Orientalism and Religious Thought</em></p> ER -
