Abstract

The term “Jahiliah” (Ignorance) is the most important and obvious term used to describe the social structure and behavioral, moral and religious characteristics of the people of the Hijaz region during the years before the advent of Islam. A review of Shia hadith sources declares that the infallibles (pbuh) have also used this term in their statements on many issues and in various instances. In the following article, firstly, the typology and then the quantitative and comparative analysis of the classified news are mentioned, and its results are used in order to achieve the general framework of the thought of the innocents (PBUT) about the age of “Jahiliah” (Ignorance), rereading the instances and how of remembering the period of “Jahiliah” (Ignorance). The results of the research show that the views of the Innocents (PBUT) about the Age of “Jahiliah” (Ignorance) are aligned with each other; the difference is that this term was used by each of the innocents in accordance with different purposes, and the fact that it was used in a few or many cases in different periods, as well as the delay in the variety of topics and examples, can provide new insights about the perspective of the innocents (PBUT) towards the concept of ignorance.
