== '''The Condition of the Hijaz Before Prophethood (Bi’itha)''' ==

In the [[Holy Quran]], the period before the advent of Prophethood is described using the term "manifest error". <ref>Surah Al-Jumua, Verse 2</ref> This era is referred to in Islamic sources as the "Jahiliyya" (جاهلية), or the Age of Ignorance. According to [[Imam Ali]] (a.s), religious beliefs during this time were highly diverse; some individuals equated God with physical objects, while others associated divine attributes and revered names with idols. <ref>Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 1</ref>

During this period, idol worship was prevalent among the Arabs, with a large number of idols present, reaching up to 360 within the [[Kaaba]]. Idols such as [[Manat]], <ref>Al-Asnam, p. 13</ref> [[Lāt]], <ref>Al-Asnam, p. 16</ref> [[‘Uzzā]], <ref>History of Pre-Islamic Arabia," p. 379</ref> and Hubal <ref>Al-Asnam, p. 27</ref> were particularly venerated among the polytheists. In addition to idol worship, religions such as [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Zoroastrianism]] were also known among the Arabs during the era preceding the Prophethood.
