===Ibn Taymiyya's view===
In his book, ''Iqtida' al-sirat al-mustaqim mukhalafat-a asḥab al-jahim'' (that the right path requires the opposition to people of the Hell), [[Ibn Taymiyya]] (d. [[728]]/1327) called the ignorance before Islam the "absolute Jahiliyya" as opposed to the ignorance during the Islamic period which he called "qualified Jahiliyya". He referred to some of its instances in his own time, such as practices by Muslims in their religious celebrations which were similar to those of unbelievers.
