Answer Details
The Arabs worshiped idols during the Jahiliyya period because they believed that the idols would intercede on their behalf and bring them closer to God. They did not know or understand the true message of monotheism and the oneness of God, as there were no prophets or revealed books among them to guide them towards the truth. This period was characterized by ignorance and darkness, which ended with the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the revelation of the Quran, which brought light and guidance to the Arabs and the world.
