Abstract
The genre of orientalism was a product of western-secular world-view in understanding the oriental world. At first, it seemed to be a renowned discipline without any challenge from eastern scholars. However, recently this changed due to the emergence of post-colonialism philosophy and orientalism is being seriously examining by eastern scholars. This article focusses on the subject of Muslim civilization in the Malay Archipelago in the context of orientalism. It is divided into several sections. First, we consider Malay-Muslim's perspectives toward orientalism. Second, we analyse classical orientalism's paradigm vis-a-vis the development of Muslim civilization in the Malay Achipelago. Third, an analysis of the recent trend of orientalism's paradigm of the Muslim civilization will be considered and finally a few conclusions will be made.
