The former orientalist conceived that the Holy Quran came as a result ofefforts done by prophet, but there are orientalists who believe that it was notdue to the efforts by human but it came over the passage of time. Generally,the orientalists made every effort to affront the true and holy image of lastprophet PBUH-the final messenger of Allah as well as the Quran, (revealedwords of Allah) in a bid to create ambiguity and hurt the reliability of both.They also left no opportunity to touch and allegedly refer to as Satanicverses. Some of them who are more significant in paying heed specifically tothis issue in their work are Karen Armstrong, Montgomery Watt andMaxims Robinson. According to objective of their work is to prove thisfallacy that Quran does not come due to revelation from Allah. But, mostfamous Muslim scholars like Al-Qurtabi, Al-Radi, Qadi Ayaz and Ibn alArabi provided proofs that this is only myth and Satanic verses have no baseat all. The article is focused to analyse the Orientalists views on the satanicverses and their drastic failure in upholding their objectivity pertaining to thefalse story. This research paper is intended to study that how they failed inproving the major objectives of the false story.
