The term ?al-Ja:hili:ya is referred to the pre-Islamic paganism or a
state of of ignorance. The three core consonants JHL refer to the state
of not knowing. Arabs claim it was called ?al-Ja:hili:ya because they
were ignorant of Islam and not because the of their ignorance in
general. This explanation doesn't seem convincing to me. Any ideas.
