So, the corrupt personality, which suffers from schizophrenia and weak will, or the personality which suffers from self-conceit, spite, haughtiness, selfishness, and sexual perversion always follows the ignorant system to express its ill complexes and psychological deviation. The Holy Qur'an often speaks about this ill personality.
It analyses its construction and depicts its inner content to make man aware and to teach social understanding which, in turn, make him avoid falling into this deep abyss. Allah, the Exalted, says: ***“There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied”. ***Holy Qur'an (2:10) “And they denied them unjustly and proudly while their soul had been convinced of them; consider, then how was the end of the mischief-makers”.
Holy Qur'an (27:14) Through its diagnosis and analysis, the Qur'an points to the place of the illness and the starting point of the deviation bringing about a ` jahiliyah ' in various stages of man's evolution. It is emotional deviation and psychological disease from which the ` jahili ' (ignorant) person suffers. He turns away from truth and guidance because of the influence of this disease.
Although the truth is clear, the ignorant person refuses it and tries to get rid of the rules of psychological righteousness and rational beliefs and behavior. Imam Ali (a.s) deeply analyses and describes this ill, ignorant, immoral and psychological situation by saying: “Desires had deflected them and self-conceit had swerved them.
Extreme ignorance had made them foolish.” “The sons of vanity, the brothers of fanaticism, and the horsemen of ignorance proved him to be true.” “So, they put out what was hidden in their hearts from the fires of fanaticism and the spites of ignorance.” Consequently, in every period and generation, ` jahiliyah ' (global ignorance) is distinguished by fanaticism, haughtiness, deviation, and psychological and moral abnormality.
Behavioral Deviation Among the basic center which contributes in creating and distinguishing the ` jahiliyah ' society and individual is the state of behavioral abnormality and deviation. Deviation from righteousness and absorption in abnormal practices and habits are the most prominent marks among all ignorant societies. In addition, these habits are the most visible social forms which show deviant, ignorant content.
