Abstract EN

This study deals with the origin of Lat the Idol from a historical perspective.

It is brief and important one as it sheds the light on a well-known idol in Arab peninsula where it was worshipped by people in general and Thaqif tribe in particular.

Due to its sanctity, Arab pagans made particular rites similar to that in Mecca in the building, sacredness and roaming around.

Additionally, they had other rites they performed to glorify this idol till the order given by prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) to demolish this idol, burn the building, and establish a mosque where Allah is worshipped and Islamic rites are performed.
