Muka, Tasdiya and Salât in The Jahiliyya Period whithin The Scope of Anfâl 8/35

A lot of verses in the Qur'an contain details and information about the period of Jahiliyyah. For this reason, any information about the period of the Jahiliyyah contributes to a better understanding of the Qur'an. The correct understanding and interpretation of the information conveyed by the Qur'an is also extremely important. This article discusses the existence of any worship practice of Namaz similar to the one in its present day form in the Jahiliyyah period. The 35th verse of Enfal Sura is one of the most important verses for good understanding of this subject. This verse is one of the most important arguments of the people who claim that polytheist were aware of the practice of Namaz. In this research, it emerged that the concept of Namaz was not present in its cur-rent sense. Analysis of other verses related to this subject also supports this idea. Therefore, the concept of worship ritual of the polytheists in the Jahiliyyah mentioned in the Qur'an is different than the concept of Namaz in Islam. Keywords:
