In the light of the conclusions drawn from the Orientalist drive, it was examined that there are various differences in the establishment and stability of universal and sustainable peace in the world and to what extent the teachings of Islam and the Prophet of Islam. Orientalists should study Islam and the biography of the Prophet of Islam impartially.Instead of, by criticizing their predecessors, they wanted to prove their academic superiority and impartiality. William Montgomery Watt objected to the revelation and said that there is a mixture of Christian teachings in the prophethood of Muhammad. Secondly, the prophethood is related to the evolutionary stages. He tried hard to change the certainty of the revelation into uncertainty. Two flaws in Watt's research are prominent. On the one hand, it seems that because of his critical taste, he rejects historical and Muslim traditions and calls them doubtful. The second is to consider the historical events of the past in the light of today's generation-based imagination. Because of his critical taste, he rejects Muslim traditions, casts doubts, relies on weak traditions and prefers secondary sources instead of primary sources. The topic of this research paper is "William Montgomery Watt's Objections to the Seerah" in which William Montgomery's brief circumstances and his Islamic commands and objections to the hadiths are described.
