TitleThe concept of Islam, the religion of the sword, has many adherents in the world today. A Much of this thought was created by early Islamic historians. These writers placed great emphasis on the wars of the Prophet of Islam. And later ignorant writers intensified this process. The Battle of Badr has the greatest resonance in the historical sources of early Islam, which provided later biographers with important information about the Battle of Badr. The Orientalists of the colonial period also used these data a lot for various purposes, making some events appear important while downplaying or deleting others. This review helps to know the author's performance and intellectual orientation as well as the degree of his bias, and it reveals the author's degree of hostility or neutrality toward the Prophet of Islam. Examine how the Battle of Badr is reflected in the texts of English-language Orientalists of the Victorian period.
