Allah the Most Exalted said: Have you then considered AI-Lat and Al-'Uzza (the two idols of the pagan Arabs). And Manat (another idol of the pagan Arabs), the other third? (53:19,20) At-Tirmidhi reported and declared as Sahih (sound), that Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (May Allah be pleased with him) said: We went out with Allah's Messenger on the campaign to Hunain while we had just left disbelief (Kufr) for Islam. The Mushrikin had a Sidra (lote-tree) that they would stay there and hang their arms on, called Dhat Anwat. When we passed a Sidra, we asked, "O Messenger of Allah , won't you make for us another Dhat Anwat just like their Dhat Anwat?" Allah's Messenger said, "Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great)! By the One (Allah ) who holds my soul in His hand, verily these are the ways of earlier nations, you have said exactly as Bani Israel said to Musa : 'Make for us a god just as their gods.' "He said: " 'Verily you are a people who know not.' (7:138) Certainly you will follow the ways of those who went before you."
