On his way back, he spent around ten days in the Korean Empire. Ibrahim, who was convinced of the barbarism of the West, found quite a few examples in Korea to build upon his theory of Eastern civility, just as he had found during his time in Japan. He met with a range of people, from porters to the Korean Empire's Interior Minister, and wrote about them in his travelogue titled alem-i Islam [The World of Islam]. This paper argues that Ibrahim was particularly sympathetic to Koreans because he saw their position in a world of imperial hierarchies as analogous to that of Muslims in the Russian Empire. In Korea, Ibrahims' anti-Westernism is coupled with his vision of a Pan-Asian world order led by Imperial Japan. alem-i Islam is significant because it is the only account of the Korean Empires' final years written by a Muslim intellectual.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAbd?rre?id ?brahim?lem-i ?sl?mKorean EmpireJoseon dynastyJapanese colonialismJapanese annexationanti-WesternismPan-IslamismTatarsBlack Dragon SocietyArticle62317820310.25024/kj.2022.62.3.1782-s2.0-85152101897Q3WOS:000883337600007N/A
