Al-Uzza

Al-Uzza was an ancient Arabian goddess worshipped in pre-Islamic Arabia, particularly by the Quraysh tribe in Mecca. She was associated with war and considered one of the three chief goddesses, alongside Al-Lat and Manat. Al-Uzza was often depicted as a powerful figure, embodying strength and protection. The name translates to "the Mighty" or "the Powerful." With the rise of Islam in the 7th century, her worship declined, as the new religion emphasized monotheism and rejected polytheistic practices. Al-Uzza represents the complex belief systems that existed in Arabia before the advent of Islam.
