Abstract: Each nation, and its intellectuals -writers in particular- have an opinion in other nations and people, in terms of their civilization, culture, language, religion and heritage that they entail. This view is reflected in the literature of that nation, as it is the mirror that reflects the feelings of this nation and its relationship with other nations and peoples. English literature is one of those manners that reflected the reality of the West's attitude towards Islam and Muslims, since this literature became a real reality in the life of the English as a nation. This paper examines remarkable works in the arts of poetry, theatre, and story in English literature on Islam, and the literature of the journeys, journalistic and intellectual articles written in the hands of several English writers and critics. The argument attempted to be purely neutral in responding to the writings and the fabrications of these writers on Islam, and the reasons for these slurs.
Keywords: Islam, English literature, Prophet Muhammed, Orientalist, Literary Criticism.
