The well-known Syrian thinker and translator, George Tarabishi, presented a new view of heritage in his book “From
the Islam of the Qur’an to Modern Islam,” in which he questioned many Islamic postulates, such as the legislative role
of the Prophet Mohammed, and the status of his Sunnah.
Mr. Tarabishi took a skeptical approach out of context towards the Prophetic Sunnah, and called the descriptions of
the situation, lies and fabrication on the hadiths of the Prophet regardless of their strength. Rather, he asserted that
the hadiths were entered into Sahih Albukhari & Sahih Muslim, and he dealt with them - and others - with lengthy
criticism, conversion, in many of the Muhaddithin’s rules, according to his claim.
This study reviews examples of the criticism that Tarabishi made to the hadiths, and discusses what he recounted in a
detailed scientific discussion, the lists of criticism on the objectivity of his criticism or not, and the level of Tarabishi's
qualifications for the speech he issued in the Sunnah and its sciences and the judgment on the hadiths.
