اشكالية التوجه و التحيز في دراسة التاريخ العثماني من خلال كتاب "ام القرى" لعبد الرحمان الكواكبي

Abstract EN

The image of the Ottoman Empire in the thought and writings of most Arab historical sources is considered to be the main cause of the cultural backwardness that afflicted the Arab world in modern times.

This claim is based not on historical facts but on a clear bias towards the Ottoman state, which succeeded to a great extent in protecting the Arab nation from harassment and modern European colonialism.

These writings have led to the emergence of an ideological stream rejecting the Ottoman presence, considering it to be one of the forms of occupation that must be eliminated.

The book Umm al-Qura by Abdel-Rahman al-Kawakibi is one of the most obvious of these biased models in the study of the Ottoman Empire, and this is an attempt to show by showing the bias in the book Al-Kawakibi and referring to the errors and historical bias in his book Umm Al-Qura.
