Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the world of Islam serves as an exemplar for the entire Muslim community but same does not hold true for the orientalists as he ﷺ in the European sphere was taken as the one who was anti-Christ whereas, for others he ﷺ stood as the one who has deviated from his original religion (Christianity). In fact, many labeled him as someone who venerated idols, thus his name was changed to Mahmound which meant soul of darkness. Interestingly, scholar from the land of Germany, Dr. Annemarie Schimmel had an entirely different view from rest of the orientalists as she viewed Muhammad ﷺ as an epitome of personality both spiritually as well as morally. In this paper, researcher tries to explore opinion that Prof. A. Schimmel holds for Muhammad ﷺ and how Muslims view him.

Muhammad, Muslim, Sirah.
