Question:
What is the ruling on the statement that this age is an age of general ignorance (jahiliyyah)?
Answer:
The one who says this is a liar. After the sending of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), general ignorance (jahiliyyah) ceased to exist. So praise be to Allah, Islam exists, and the Qur'an and the Sunnah exist. We are not in a state of general ignorance (jahiliyyah). Rather, there may be ignorance (jahiliyyah) in some individuals or some tribes. This exists. Yes.
