Summary
This Bayan Linnas clarifies several misunderstandings arising from Dr. Mun'im Sirry's statements. Imam al-Tabari recorded varied opinions in his exegesis following a definite methodology, not without discipline. The Qur'an also names idols such as Wadd, Suwa', Yaghuth, Ya'uq, Nasr and Ba'l besides al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat. Jahili Arab society practised paganism but was not primitive, and Dr. Sirry is said to have confused the two terms.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sememangnya terbukti bahawa masyarakat Arab Jahiliah itu bukanlah masyarakat yang primitif kerana perdebatan logik dan falsafah ketika itu terlalu banyak boleh diambil manfaatnya di dalam al-Qur'an.
