Muhammad Asad and his conversion to Islam

Islamic studies always had diverse motives and goals of evangelical, political, colonial and economic nature. Although, the Western approach to conducting studies and researches on Isalm, in the hope of believing in and converting to the religion, has not been taken into consideration yet. The study surveys the reasons and grounds for the conversion of the prominent Jewish Orientalist Leopold Weiss (Muhammad Asad) to the Islam with a context-based approach. This article makes an attempt to show how Muhammad asad , in the works he has published about islam , criticizes contemporary islamic Thoughts and tries to defend the ( original ) islamic thoughts on his part. Asad tried to look for a way to bring the muslims out of their descending ways and cure their backwardness and he also tried to encourage them to resist other cultures by appealing to trust muslims have among themselves.
