أَفَرَأَيتُمُ اللّاتَ وَالعُزّىٰ

Yusuf Ali

Have ye seen1 Lāt###. and ?Uzza,
  • From the heights of divine Glory, we come back again to this sorry earth, with its base idolatries. We are asked to “look at this picture, and at that!” The three principal idols of Pagan Arab Idolatry were the goddesses Lāt, 'Uzza, and Manat, Opinions differ as to their exact forms: one version is that Lāt was in human shape, 'Uzza had its origin in a sacred tree, and Manat in a white stone. (R).
