Although the Arabs before Islam did not deny God altogether, they did not know Him by His true identity as the One and the Eternal. They neither showed any true understanding of God, nor worshipped Him properly. On the contrary, they ascribed to Him, as partners, idols that were supposed to represent their great and pious ancestors or, in some cases, the angels whom they claimed to be God’s daughters.

Haka kuma sun yi zargin cewa akwai dangantakar zumunci tsakaninsa da aljanu. Sau da yawa dai sun yi watsi da dukkan wadannan sharuda, sun kuma bauta wa gumakan nan da kansu. Amma a kowane hali sun yi ikirarin, kamar yadda Alkur'ani ya ambata a kan su, cewa "ba mu bauta musu ba sai don su kusantar da mu ga Allah" - watau gumakansu daban-daban. (39: 3) Note: the rules require "God" rather than "Allah" in the translation, so the correct rendering is: Haka kuma sun yi zargin cewa akwai dangantakar zumunci tsakaninsa da aljanu. Sau da yawa dai sun yi watsi da dukkan wadannan sharuda, sun kuma bauta wa gumakan nan da kansu. Amma a kowane hali sun yi ikirarin, kamar yadda Alkur'ani ya ambata a kan su, cewa "ba mu bauta musu ba sai don su kusantar da mu ga Ubangiji" - watau gumakansu daban-daban. (39: 3)

Moreover, they alleged a kinship between Him and the jinn. They often ignored all these qualifications, however, and worshipped those idols themselves. But in all cases they claimed, as the Qur’ān quotes them, that they “only worship them [i.e. their various deities] so that they may bring us near to God.” (39: 3)

Alqur'ani kuma ya bayyana cewa: "Idan ka tambaye su wanene suka halicci sammai da ƙasa, suka kuma sanya rana da wata (su bi ƙa'idodi da aka tsara), za su ce: Allah." (29: 61) Haka kuma: "Idan ka tambaye su wanene ke saukar da ruwa daga sama, ta haka kuma ya rayar da ƙasa bayan ta mutu, za su ce: Allah." (29: 63) Bugu da ƙari, Allah ya maye gurbin gumakansu a cikin rantsuwoyinsu da addu'o'insu. Note: the rules say the Hausa word for God must be used instead of "Allah", so the correct rendering is: Alqur'ani kuma ya bayyana cewa: "Idan ka tambaye su wanene suka halicci sammai da ƙasa, suka kuma sanya rana da wata (su bi ƙa'idodi da aka tsara), za su ce: Ubangiji." () Haka kuma: "Idan ka tambaye su wanene ke saukar da ruwa daga sama, ta haka kuma ya rayar da ƙasa bayan ta mutu, za su ce: Ubangiji." () Bugu da ƙari, Ubangiji ya maye gurbin gumakansu a cikin rantsuwoyinsu da addu'o'insu.
