Structured Abstract The most common belief among the Arabs during the Jahiliyyah period was to worship the idol. Every tribe and the city had its idol. The most famous idols were Hubel, Lat, Uzza and Menat and  there were 360 idol in the Kaaba. Therefore, Kaaba was considered holy by the Arabs. The Arabs visited the Kaaba, sacrificed their idols, and would not believe in the resurrection after death.They believed that the idols were helping them in the world and they usually produce idols, made of stones, trees and some mines. Sometimes they worshiped their food by giving them shape. The number of temples where idols were found during the Jahiliyyah period was quite high. One of the most important temples was the Kaaba and there were hundreds of  idols to worship in and around the Kaaba, although the Arabs worshiped the idols but they did not deny God, and the Jahiliyyah Arabs used the word Allah to express the most omnipotent and creative, apart from the names of other gods and idols. This use shows us that there is a belief in Allah in the Jahiliyyah Arabs. However, in pre-islamic age of ignorance Arabs did not believe in hereafter, and some of them worshiped the Jinn and accepted them. In addition, there were some people who believed that the Angels were daughter of  God in Jahiliyyah period. Before the arrival of Islam, there were different beliefs in the Arab society, such as Judaism, Christianity, Magog, Sabiism and Khanif, but the most common belief was idolatry, although the Jahiliyyah Arabs believed the idols but they acknowledged the existence of a superior power, which they called God also  among the Arabs there were those who had accepted the Khanif faith and the religion of Abraham. This shows that the belief in Allah exists on the Arabian Peninsula because the word of Jahiliyah poem was used to express God and this word was used to indicate that God exists. On the other hand,In pre-islamic age of ignorance Jews and a small number of Christians were living in the Arabian Peninsula. Jews generally lived in Medina. Christianity, on the north of the Arabian peninsula and Christianity was a common belief among Gasssânîs and the Hîrelis. In the Jahiliyyah period, there were few people who were called Khanifs; those who believed in Abraham's religion and Allah. They refused to worship the idol and also had no common prayer.

The documents do not provide detailed information about basic religious issues such as prayer and worship. Besides, it is possible to benefit from the inscriptions and archaeological works of the Jahiliyyah Arabs, from the poems and proverbs of Assyrian, Hebrew, Greek and Latin sources, as well as the Jahiliyyah poetry and proverbs, which contain information about the pre-Islamic Arab society. On the other hand, in the first period of the birth of Islam there are also detailed information written in the Quran, tafsir, hadith, siyar (prophetic biography) and history  works about the religious beliefs of the polytheist Arabs.During in pre-islamic age of ignorance, the purpose of worship of Arabs was to achieve their earthly desires and the Arabs made their prayers in the houses where idols were put, they would prostrate and pray to the idols. They would usually appeal to idols for health, money, success and having children. The Jahiliyya Arabs did not have belief in the hereafter but the grave of the deceased would include food and clothing. In addition, an animal was left to die at the grave and they believed that the deceased would use the animal on the way to the last judgement  this shows that there is a thought about the existence of a second life after the died in the subconscious of Arabs, within this context in this study it was taken up the understanding of religion in pre-islamic age of ignorance in the Arabs and also information on the definitions of religion in Persian, Hebrew and the Quran. The use of the religion word in Arabs before Islam and their understanding of religion was emphasized. In addition, the use of the word of Allah is mentioned In pre-islamic age of ignorance in the Arabs.
