Nur Posted January 24, 2011 Nomads. The Holy Quraan has gems of knowledge that many readers do not pay attention to. When you read the Holy Quraan with a sincere soul ( Qalbun Saleem), you can get inspired in a special way. Today I would like to share a Quraanic Terminology and its shocking meaning. Jaahiliyyah! What is Jaahiliyyah. Jaahiliyyah is like the night, its dark, its evil and the opposite to Islam in every sense which is the daylight. Omar Ibnul Khattab RAA said: He who can not identify Jaahiliyyah, Does Not Know Islam! What a contrast! According to Lisaan al Carab, the word has root in Al Jayhala, which is a a stick that was used to mover around the fire in a fire place. From that root, the Arabs began using the word for moving the fire, and then it progressed to be used as an adjective describing an angry person like a fire reacting to the stick that moves it by violent flares, and at the end it became synonymous to a person speaking without a knowledge of the subject matter. From that origin, when Islam was born and the word of Tawhid, the Arabs reacted violently against this new religion, and their reaction earned them the name Jahiliyyah. Now, let us examine Four Manifestations of the Jahiliyyah System: 1. Their Belief System: Dhannal Jaahiliyyah Allah SWT says in Surah Al Imran Verse 154: ".......and they thought wrongly of Allah - the thought of Jahiliyyah..." Meaning, they have the wrong idea about Allah, hence their actions. 2. Their Judicial System: Xukmal Jaahiliyyah Allah SWT says in Surah ِ ِAl Maedah Verse 50: Do they then seek the judgment of Jahiliyyah? And who is better in judgment than Allah for a people who have firm Faith. Because they yearn for the Jahiliyyah legal system, it follows that they build their allegiance in line with those opposing Allah's law, which is the third quality of those described in Holy Quraan as the people ofJahiliyyah 3. Their Loyalty System: Xamiyatul Jahiliyyah For the Clan Allah SWT sys in Surah Al Fatx Verse 26: "When those who disbelieve had put in their hearts pride and haughtiness the pride and haughtiness of the Jahiliyyah, then Allah sent down His Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and made them stick to the word of piety, and they were well entitled to it and worthy of it. And Allah is the All-Knower of everything Xamiyyatul Jahiliyyah means loyalty to the Clan and Nationalism and acting in a fiery way and violently in their preservation. From this definition, all of the human misery that took place in Somalia in the past can be traced back to this form of Jahiliyyah 4. Their Social Norms: Tabarrujul Jaahiliyyah aka Fashion Show Allah SWT advices Muslim women in Surah Al Axzab, verse : .......and do not show yourselves off like the show off of the Jahiliyyah This type of Social Jahiliyyah is the basis of the social decadence in Muslim societies. Now, let us apply this lesson on Somalia, Somaliland, Puntland, Jubbaland, Shababland, Ahlusunnaland or e-Nuricyberland. If The Belief System is Not Based on Tawheed and has the wrong idea about Allah SWT If The Legal System is not Allah's Law If Loyalty is Xamiyatul Jahiliyyah, for the Clan If Social norms are permissive and not observing Allah's Law If in a court of law, four proofs are presented against a suspect, a jury is likely to send the suspect to jail If a Medical Doctor confirms four signs of a ailment, the Doctor prescribes the right medicine to save the patient Can we then safely say that a society that displays all four manifestation of Jahiliyyah is a indeed a Jahili Society? If you disagree, please enlighten us. Nur 2011 eNuri Aqeeda Vigils Standing Up For Allah Alone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
