Al-Lat

(Redirected from Allat)

Allāt (a contraction of pre-Arabic *al-ilahat "the Goddess") was a pre-Islamic Arabian fertility goddess. She is condemned in the Qur'an in association with the goddesses Manat and Uzza; the three are often referred to as the "trinity of desert goddesses". Her name occurs in earlier Safaitic graffiti as han-'ilat. She was also worshipped by the Nabataeans. According to Wellhausen, she was believed to be the mother of Hubal (see Hubal for details).
