Although, as an orientalist, his doubtful views of Islamic history and Sira aren’t peculiar, his thoughts had undergone a massive positive affects about Islam and Muhammad.
Gibb’s admiration of Prophet as a spiritual and political personality, and praise for his “Talent and intelligence” in all of his works, makes him different from other orientalists. Because of many vicissitudes in life of prophet, second part of his life in Medina attracts more attention between western scholars.
