In this article, it had been taken the critique that he put down on the orientalists' in the basic subjects of the Quran by Fazlurrahman. He also had been criticized by Muslim scholars in generally. But, the interesting subject is that he also criticized the orientalists’. There had been done no much research about this item. For eliminating this lack, we take attention his critiques a few points related both Quran and its commentary in his book named Quran with basic subjects. Because, he had mentioned in his book as the main subjects of Quran like God, man as person, man in society, the prophecy and revelation, nature, devil and demon. In this context, he also had criticized some ideas and thoughts have claimed by orientalists’ about these subjects. Otherwise, we aim to be introduced this scholar by this direction for future generations who had witnessed twentieth century. Fazlurrahman's critiques for orientalists' are important in two points. The first thing is that he can read books of foreigners on their own languages and the original books and criticize them. And the second thing is he can read the basic books of its own religious in his own language that is Arabic. This both feature give him an opportunity to criticize and judge the orientalists thoughts and books in the hardest way. Therefore we think it’s necessary his critiques known and put them the academic area. In addition to, the people who come into new religious all over the world because of they cannot take a chance to learn the language of religion and to reach the resources, so first book they read will be the books written by the orientalist on their own language. These people read such as complicated and suspicious books are not good for them. Then, Fazlurrahman's thoughts and critiques, including value judgments about these books and in which points they are helpful or harmful, will be come into quite prominence. Thus, it is a matter giving hope to see his very serious position against the western’s encyclopedic, academic and politic orientalism. STRUCTURED ABSTRACT
