Here are the answers to your questions: a) To help Nanjua, here are some facts about the pre-Islamic Arabian society and the advent of Islam: • Pre-Islamic Arabia (Jahiliyyah) was characterized by a tribal society, widespread polytheism (idol worship), and various social injustices including female infanticide, slavery, and usury. • The advent of Islam introduced the concept of monotheism (Tawhid), calling for the worship of one God. • Islam brought moral and legal reforms, emphasizing justice, equality, and the protection of the vulnerable, challenging the existing social order. • The Quran was revealed as the central scripture, complemented by the Sunnah (the Prophet's teachings and practices) as a guide for life. b) Here are some evil practices from pre-Islamic Arabia and their contemporary manifestations: • Female Infanticide: Then: Daughters were often buried alive due to shame, poverty, or fear of dishonor. Now: While direct infanticide is rare, gender-selective abortions and neglect of female children still occur in some parts of the world, driven by cultural preference for sons or economic pressures. • Usury (Riba): Then: Charging excessive and exploitative interest on loans, leading to the impoverishment of debtors. Now: Predatory lending practices, high-interest credit, and exploitative financial systems continue to create significant economic hardship and inequality globally, trapping individuals in cycles of debt. • Slavery: Then: People were bought, sold, and owned as property, subjected to forced labor and severe abuse. Now: Human trafficking, forced labor, and debt bondage are modern forms of slavery that persist worldwide, exploiting vulnerable individuals for economic gain in various industries.
