Philip K Hitti is one of those renowned orientalists who have written about the history of Islam. His book “History of the Arab” has been popular and accepted by both Muslims and non-Muslim readers. In his book, Hitti has explained his views about the concept of “Khilafat” and the policies adopted my first four Muslim “Khalifahs” during their reign. He admires their struggles and way of governing and on some phases he creates doubts as well. A common Muslim reader might not catch those doubts and take them into consideration while reading the book. Therefore it is of utmost importance that the information about the history of Islam and remarks of Hitti regarding particular aspects should by analyzed according to the historical approaches of Muslim scholars. This article happens to be covering this space. In this regard, claims of Hitti have been highlighted and then their brief but comprehensive critical analysis has been presented. Primary sources of Muslim history have been given preference and on some places, secondary sources have also been consulted.
