It would be useful to have phonetic spellings for non-english words like Jahiliyyah, or even wav file links. Since some languages have phonemes missing from English, I think a wave file is necessary.

This page seems extremely oriented towards modern conceptions following those of Qutb. NPOV is needed. em zilch 06:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Although the article quotes Qutb's words, but it also quotes Dr. Hina Azam who is anti-Qutbi. That creates a balance in the article. If you think otherwise, please explain. --Islamic 20:04, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Problem Term?:
I think the correct form to express this point would be to use the adjetive ie. "Problematic Term".erasmocbc 17:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
I tend to agree with Emilyzilch - the term originally means a period of time in Islamic history and more need to be written about it. --80.178.234.123 19:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I think the period of the Jahaliya was a wonderful time for Arab litterature and poetry, more needs to be mentioned about the great language acheivements of this more civilized age.
Implicit in this page, others that refer to it, and a few other Wikipedia pages is the idea that "pre-Islam" equates to "before the prophet Muhammed" or before "the rise of Islam" (whatever that means). Most Muslims will agree that Islam is an ancient religion of which Muhammed was the last (and greatest) of prophets; in other words, Islam did not begin with the prophet Muhammed. This is important, because if care is not taken, this sloppiness of thinking leads to the great mistake amongst non-Muslims of calling Muhammed the "founder" of Islam (which can cause great offence). --The Lesser Merlin 11:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] attempted cleanup
Added footnotes and shortened a rather silly section on "false consciousness." --BoogaLouie 18:10, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
