The word "Jahiliyya" is used 4 times in the [[Quran]], and in all cases it was reproached and disapproved. Such a disapprobative tone is present in some other Quranic verses in which other cognates of the word, such as "yajhalūn" (یجهلون , they ignore) and "jāhilūn/jāhilīn" (جاهلون/جاهلین , the ignorants), are used. In general, the Quran points to a certain period of the Arabic history before Islam and it calls it the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyya) because people displayed ignorant (jahili) conducts. | The word "Jahiliyya" is used 4 times in the [[Quran]], and in all cases it was reproached and disapproved.

* The Quran, [[Q 3|3]]:154, "they think of Allah thoughts that were not true, the thought of ignorance (jahiliyya)", reproaches some people because of untrue thoughts about [[God]]. [[Muhammad b. Jarir al-Tabari|Al-Tabari]] takes the verse to refer to [[hypocrisy|hypocrites]] who thought wrongly about God and [[the Prophet (s)]]. [[Fadl b. Hassan al-Tabrisi|Al-Tabrisi]] takes the "thought of ignorance" to be the thought entertained by hypocrites to the effect that God will not help the Prophet (s) and his [[Companions of the Prophet (s)|companions]]. However, [['Allama Tabataba'i]] maintains that the "thought of ignorance" refers to the thought entertained by some Muslims that because they converted to [[Islam]], they should definitely win all the battles, and God is required to unconditionally help His religion and its followers. | * The Quran, [[Q 3|3]]:154, "they think of Allah thoughts that were not true, the thought of ignorance (jahiliyya)", reproaches some people because of untrue thoughts about [[God]].
