Why Muslims do not offer prayers to"Allah's daughters". el-Lat, el-Uzza, and Manat ?

Muslims today do not worship Allah's daughters and view them as pagan deities. Having said that, it is important to note that Muhammad himself commanded his followers offer prayers to these "Allah's daughters". He later retracted it and blamed it on the Devil. It is this true event in Muhammad's life which was the topic of Salman Rushdie's book, "The Satanic Verses." (a book we certainly do not recommend reading for its profanity and racism.)

I am doing some research on religions, may some expert on Islam throw some light on the subject?

    Because they wanted women to keep under control by removing women goddesses.

    "Islam's God is no better than the Christian God. When Mohammad began preaching the Arabic god, Allah, had a wife and three daughters. Allah was the moon god, a source maintained in the Islamic crescent moon, and the top god in the Arabic pantheon. His wife was the sun goddess, Atthar. Their daughters, Al-Lat (morning star), Al-Uzza (patron goddess of Mecca), and Manat (evening star) were all high goddesses.

    But Mohammad liked the loneliness of the Jewish bachelor god so he gave Allah a divorce and the daughters were abandoned to waste away in the sands of the desert. The Satanic Verses that were originally written into the Koran mention Allah's daughters. They were later expunged as the work of the devil. " says the link.

    The Kaaba’s presiding deity was the moon-god Hubal, similar to Shiva in that the latter is depicted as carrying the moon on his head. His three goddesses Al-Lat, Uzza and Manat, were believed by the Muslims to have taken refuge in the Somnath (Shiva) temple on the Gujarat coast. This is the reason why more than any other, that particular Hindu temple was singled out for destruction upon destruction.

    If you read the Qur'an then you will come to know the names you have given were of idols. The Arabs used to worship these Idols and used to call them daughters of God but just because they call it, does that make them daughters? And if you say Muhammad asked people to worship God's daughter then you are certainly another salman rushdie. If you are a regular on YA you would know that whatever claims you make has to be supported by quotes. Unfortunately not everyone can get quality education.

    Despite human ingratitude Allah Almighty is magnanimously Merciful in not avenging people for what they ascribe to Him.Quote:"No one is more patient then Allah against the harmful and annoying words He hears from people.They ascribe children to Him yet He bestows upon them health and provision"Truth is one thing and it is real,axiomatic yet simple.Truth is not double faced,hypocritical equivocal or suspicious.So the truth is Allah Almighty is not begotten and He never had any son/sons OR daughaters.

    For the same reasons Mormons don't pray to Mary, but wear funny underpants instead.

  • praying daughters momentarily may please your senses but latter it can spoil all your culture. doing so, Muslims save their culture and race. Muslim race will persist longer in the human history.
