Hey kiddo! Do you know what taghut is? No? Well, let me explain it to you in a way that you can understand.
Taghut is a really big and scary word that some grown-ups use to talk about something they think is really wrong. It means anything or anyone that tries to take the place of God or tries to tell people what to do when only God should be the one to decide.
Let's say you and your friend are playing and a big kid comes over and says, "I am in charge now, you have to listen to me and do what I say." That big kid is trying to act like Taghut because he's trying to take the place of the grown-ups who are supposed to be in charge.
Taghut can be anything or anyone that tries to tell people what to do when only God should be the one to tell us what is right and what is wrong. It's like when someone tries to control you and make you do something that you don't want to do.
So, taghut is a bad thing because it goes against what God wants for us. We should always listen to God and follow His rules, not let someone or something else take over that role.
