أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ
Afaraaytumu all a ta wa a lAAuzz a
HAVE YOU, then, ever considered [what you are worshipping in] Al-Lat and Al-'Uzza,
  - Mohammad Asad
Have you ever seen Lat and Uzza
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Now, have you considered 'the idols of' Lat and 'Uzza,
  - Mustafa Khattab
Have ye thought upon Al Lat and Al Uzza
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Have ye seen Lat an Uzza 5095
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

From the heights of divine Glory, we come back again to this sorry earth, with its base idolatries. We are asked to "look at this picture, and at that!" The three principal idols of Pagan Arab Idolatry were the goddesses Lat, Uzza, and Manat. Opinions differ as to their exact forms: one version is that Lat was in human shape, Uzza had its origin in a sacred tree, and Manat in a white stone.
