    abstract = {The Orientalists have deliberately challenged the authenticity 
  of Arab-Islamic philosophy during the history by promoting the idea that the 
  Arab mentality is non-productive and that the science (philosophy) is Greek 
  merely written in Arabic characters. In their effort to achieve this goal, they 
  have tried to mutilate and obliterate the Muslims and used all means to portray 
  the Muslims, as incapable of making any creative and scientific contribution 
  to the world all with the intention of demoralizing the morale of the Muslims. 
  Therefore, the purpose of this study is to draw attention to the secret content 
  of Orientalism that tries to ignore the contribution of other nations especially 
  the Muslims. It also aim to describe the approach of Muhammad Yassin Uraybi 
  in dealing with intellectual and philosophical issues in order to prove the 
  authenticity of Islamic thought and to disprove the claims of the Orientalists 
  and disclose where and how the Western thought was influenced by the Islamic 
  thought. In order to achieve the goal of the research, descriptive and historical 
  approaches were used as methodologies. An analytical approach was also used 
  in order to examine the texts and documents for the purpose of classifying, 
  analyzing and finding the relationship between them. The result of the research 
  has shown that the most dangerous conclusion reached by the Orientalists in 
  the Western thought and tried to apply it to the Islamic thought is the separation 
  of nation from its past. And that this modern thought and what came after was 
  not new but just the artificial structure of the doctrines of the Islamists.}
