The Meaning of Jahiliyyah in the Hadith: "You are a man in whom there is some of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, this questioner, 'Adil Muhammad from al-Dammam, says: I have heard about the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), so what is the pre-Islamic age of ignorance intended in the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
You are a person who has (remnants of) Ignorance in himإنك امرؤ فيك جاهلية
Sahih Muslim 1661c
?

Answer:
The pre-Islamic age of ignorance is what came before Islam, before Islam, before the mission of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); that is the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. And the pre-Islamic age of ignorance is condemned, as is whatever remains of it after Islam in some people; that is condemned. The general pre-Islamic age of ignorance has passed, praise be to Allah, through Islam, but something of it may remain in some individuals, or in some tribes, or in some lands. It remains if it is not treated with Islam and the correct religion. This is the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, and its treatment is through Islam, the teachings of Islam, and the religion of Islam, and through it the pre-Islamic age of ignorance is removed. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you and reward you.
