Manāt (Arabic: مناة  Arabic pronunciation: [maˈnaːh] pausa, [maˈnaːt] or Old Arabic manawat; also transliterated as manāh) was a pre-Islamic Arabian goddess worshipped in the Arabian Peninsula before the rise of Islam and the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the 6/7th century. She was among Mecca's three chief goddesses, alongside her sisters, Allat and Al-‘Uzzá,[1] and among them, she was the original and the oldest.[2]
