For Koran expert: Koran mentions Allah's daughters: AL-Lat, AL-Uzza and Manat?

Question

Who are they, and why Quareish used the name Allah years before Koran existed??? Even Muhammad father was Abdul Allah....Who was this "Allah" that they wered abed too????

Answer 1

Fact # 1
Allah is the Arabic name for God. All Arabs, not only Muslims, call God Allah.

Fact # 2
Quraish people believe in God (they call God Allah because they are Arabs). They used to worship statues as their minds would not go beyond the 5 senses at that time (just like people of Abraham). They worship statues (Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat) as they thought those seen statues will be a medium between them and the invisible God.

Fact # 3
Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat are feminine names. (Arabic is like French, there are feminine names and masculine names).

Fact # 4
Beofre Islam, baby girls was to be buried alive as they see it an issue of pride & honor to have only boys not girls.

Fact # 5
The Arabic word ("Banat") has 2 meanings; it means girls, and also means daughters. The context of verses where these 3 idols mentined in Quran indicate girls not daughters.

So the meaning of verses where (Banat) was mentioned is that:
You pagan Arabs, you bury your daughters because you think they bring you shame, and you don't want any for yourselves except boys, then you give feminine names for the idols you worship who you think will carry your good deeds to God. So it's a kind of objection from God for this unjust division (from pagan Arabs perspective).

P.S. Abdullah, is same as Abdu Allah, which means God worshipper. pagan Arabs believe in Allah, but they were polytheist and takes idols as representitives for God.

Answer 2

AL-Lat, AL-Uzza, Manat, these were the names of idols that arab pagans worshipped.. The prefix AL- coincides with the first two letterers of the word ALLAH. and Muhammad's fathers name was Abdullah, not Abdul Allah.. a great difference

PS : u don't have to be an expert to know that.. just open The Book and look for it.
( harri s, u've the best source)

Answer 3

ALLAH is the proper name for the Exalted God.

Abdul means servant, so Abdul Allah is servant of God.

allat,uzza,manat is the pagan idol belief,associating it with the Almighty Allah.

Answer 4

first of all you need to read the koran correctly before you ask this stuped question!!!!.first :allah never said he had daughters,he said that the christians say that the angels are god's doughters.second : the names you mentioned were the names of good men and where worshiped after thay died.finally :ALLAH is an arabic word ,translated ; AL= the , lah= god . allah is the name of god ,and muhammad didn't make it up, and allah was a commen name even before muhammed so it was normal to be called abdullah.

Answer 5

Historical evidences, impartial logic, well versed references and all available circumstantial judgments can very well prove that—(a) Allah name of deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam, (b) Pre-Islamic Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity (moon-god). Allah’s name existed in pre-Islamic Arab. In ancient Arab the Allah was considered to be the supreme God/deity (as Moon-God) and Arab Pagans worshipped Allah before Islam arrived.

Were al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat called “the daughters of Allah”? Yes.
Yusuf Ali explains in fn. 5096, pg. 1445, that Lat, Uzza and Manat were known as “the daughters of God [Allah]”
Did the Qur’an at one point tell Muslims to worship al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat? Yes. In Surah 53:19-20.
Have those verses been “abrogated” out of the present Qur’an? Yes.

99% percent of Muslims do believe that—Allah’s name was invented or started right from the time when Gabriel disclosed the truth (?) to Prophet Muhammad in the cave of Hira Parvat (Mountain) and gave Muhammad the Quran. They believe that before this truth was revealed—pagan Arabs were in the total darkness (Andhakar Zuug) and they used to worship various puppet goddess and that the pagans were very evil people.

The central shrine at Mekka was the Pagan’s Kaaba (called House of Allah), a cube like stone structure which still stands though many times rebuilt. Imbedded in one corner is the black stone, probably a meteorite, the kissing of which is now an essential part of the Muslim’s pilgrimage.


It is the historical fact that the Ka’aba, the sacred shrine which contains the Black Stone, in Mecca was used for pagan idol worship before Islam and even called the House of Allah at that time. The name of the God whom the Arabs worshipped was the god of pantheon—Ali-ilah the god, the supreme, the predeterminer of everybody’s life or destiny—the chief God “Allah”

It has been truthfully and logically proven with all possible available circumstantial evidences/rational that, Islam was not a new religion but it is a reformed paganism

Answer 6

if you read again :

Surah 53: (An Najm/ The Star):
have you then considered the lat and the uzza, (19)
افرايتم اللات والعزي ﴿19
and manat, the third, the last? (20)
ومناه الثالثه الاخري ﴿20
what! for you the males and for him the females! (21)
الكم الذكر وله الانثي ﴿21
this indeed is an unjust division! (22)
تلك اذا قسمه ضيزي ﴿22

you'll understand that those 3 ayat state brief explanation, thus answering your question.

Answer 9

Islam is the same religion as Abrahams, and he called his lord Allah. So Allah existed before islam and people used to name Abdulla (servant of Allah)

(Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm?
( سورة الأنبياء , Al-Anbiya, Chapter #21, Verse #66)

Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because Allah had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust.
( سورة البقرة , Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #258)

And (We also saved) Abraham: behold, he said to his people, "Serve Allah and fear Him: that will be best for you- If ye understand!
( سورة العنكبوت , Al-Ankaboot, Chapter #29, Verse #16)

Behold! Abraham said to his father and his people: "I do indeed clear myself of what ye worship:
( سورة الزخرف , Az-Zukhruf, Chapter #43, Verse #26)

There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah. we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Goal.
( سورة الممتحنة , Al-Mumtahina, Chapter #60, Verse #4)

Islam:
Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."
( سورة آل عمران , Aal-e-Imran, Chapter #3, Verse #84)

The other three names mentioned in the Quran were good people who died and people started to worship their status, they are not the daughters of Allah, I think you have got a clear answer from some other answerers also.
