Abstract EN

Summary: The subject of “Caliphate” in Islam is old and renewable, it took a lot of attention of Sahaaba “may Allah be pleased by them”, and it also took the thoughts of some parties, groups and modern Islamic organizations.

The classical Orientalism has examined this at an early age, it studied and searched about what concerns the Muslims, one of its earliest writings is the book of “The language of politics” by Thomas Arnold in 1924.

The new Orientalism has followed the lead of its predecessors in this; its latest writings were “The language of politics in Islam” by the new American orientalist and political adviser Bernard Louis.

The book is a collection of some words used as a political communication language in caliphate governing offices since its rise until its fell down, the author used several methods such as: “ impact and influence”, and “Physiology”, in order to prove that these words are interned and not original.

Our study is based on Analyzing what the author has achieved and try to criticize him in comparison with some of those who wrote in the same subject among orientalists and others.
