Al-Jahiliyyah

Al-Jahiliyyah, meaning "Age of Ignorance," refers to the period in pre-Islamic Arabian history before the advent of Islam. It characterizes a time marked by tribal loyalty, polytheism, and social practices often seen as morally and ethically lacking by Islamic standards. The term highlights the contrast with the moral and spiritual reforms introduced by Islam. While it describes a historical era, it also symbolizes a time of cultural and religious practices that Islam sought to transcend, emphasizing the importance of divine guidance and moral development in shaping a just society.
