Apostle of Mission to the Muslim World: Samuel Marinus Zwemer and His Views on Islam

Samuel Marinus Zwemer took place among the significant orientalist missionariesby his activities to Muslims during the late 19th century and the first half of 20thcentury. He was called as “Apostle to Islam” because of the Arabian Mission he initiated.On the other hand, he endeavored to create negative image about Islam andMuslims by his books and articles written in the Christian perspective. Especially, hisconsiderations about the perception of Allah in Islam, Mohammed and the Quran donot accord with Islamic truths. Zwemer described Allah as an oriental despot god. Heasserted that Mohammed was not prophet and accused him of being immoral. Heasserted that the Quran is an incomprehensible book full of mistakes. Zwemer, whoincited Christian missionaries to engage in the missionary activities in the MuslimWorld, became the source of inspiration for them by both his struggle and writings.
