Arabian deities
Arabian deities were the gods and goddesses worshipped in pre-Islamic Arabia, primarily by various tribes. These deities often represented natural elements or aspects of life, such as the sun, moon, and fertility. Notable deities included Hubal, a chief god associated with divination, Al-Lat, a goddess of fertility and war, and Al-Uzza, a goddess linked to power and protection. Worship typically involved rituals and sacrifices at sacred sites, such as the Kaaba in Mecca. With the rise of Islam in the 7th century, the worship of these deities was largely replaced by monotheism.
