520 |a This article brings into focus the misunderstood and oft-ignored pre-Islamic spirituality of, primarily, the Hejaz and their religious leaders, the kahins, often uncharitably translated as soothsayers. A combination of factors has limited discussion of pre-Islamic religion, including the persistent rejection by Muslims of pre-Islamic history as a time of ignorance (jahiliyyah) and a Judaeo-Christian bias in Western scholarship. From the perspectives of anthropology and comparative religion, certain conclusions about pre-Islamic spirituality can be derived. Most important among these is that the pre-Islamic Arabs engaged in clearly religious practices revolving around the importance of the tribe and its members, living and dead. This article will hopefully spark a renewed interest in the study of the spirituality and religion of the pre-Islamic Arabs.
