Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Refuting Idolatry, Al-Lat and Al-`Uzza

Allah the Exalted rebukes the idolators for worshipping idols and taking rivals to Him. They built houses for their idols to resemble the Ka`bah built by Prophet Ibrahim, Allah's Khalil.

Read in Context

Chapter 53, Page 526, Juz 27

19. Now, have you considered ˹the idols of˺ Lât and ’Uzza, 20. and the third one, Manât, as well? 21. Do you ˹prefer to˺ have sons while ˹you attribute˺ to Him daughters? 22. Then this is ˹truly˺ a biased distribution! 23. These ˹idols˺ are mere names that you and your forefathers have made up—a practice Allah has never authorized. They follow nothing but ˹inherited˺ assumptions and whatever ˹their˺ souls desire, although ˹true˺ guidance has already come to them from their Lord. 24. Or should every person ˹simply˺ have whatever ˹intercessors˺ they desire? 25. In fact, to Allah ˹alone˺ belongs this world and the next. 26. ˹Imagine˺ how many ˹noble˺ angels are in the heavens! ˹Even˺ their intercession would be of no benefit whatsoever, until Allah gives permission to whoever He wills and ˹only for the people He˺ approves. 27. Indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter label angels as female, 28. although they have no knowledge ˹in support˺ of this. They follow nothing but ˹inherited˺ assumptions. And surely assumptions can in no way replace the truth.
