| Summary: | The Quran is the most significant source for the period of its
revelation and any other source which is older and more authentic than
the Quran does not exist whatsoever. However, the information about
the pagans in the Quran should be considered carefully due to the fact
that the Quran is not a book of history and that a conflicting situation
arose in the time when the pagans adopted negative attitudes against
Islam.
It is not possible to make precise historical narratives about the time
of Jahiliyya solely relying on the Quran. For it does not contain
sufficient information to allow us to describe its own time. Further, it
aims to narrate neither the life of the Prophet nor the time of its own
revelation. Nevertheless, it may shed light on the characteristics of
religion, language, culture, economic and social life, and traditions in
the period of the revelation. |
