Al-‘Uzzá

His name itself was shirk, right there.

Allat and Al-Uzza and Manat and Hubal, these are the names of the...

Idols.

So his name was Abdul Uzza.

Yes.

Why would they invent something like that about him? Why would they invent that he said you could temporarily pray to these three pagan Meccan goddesses? And specifically it's Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat.

And what were these god- goddesses?

Yeah.

This is ChatGPT, so look up whatever you need to look up on there.

What am I checking?

So they're called the Satanic verses, and the three goddesses are Al-Uzza, Al-Manat, and Al-Lat.

It's A-L and then a dash.

If you believe in rububiyya, then you are mandated to believe in uluhiyya." They would say, ما نعبده إلا ليقربونا إلى الله زلفى.

"No, these gods, Al-Uzza and Manat and others than them, these gods have-- we are only worshiping them so that they may bring us closer to Allah." هذه دعوى فاسدة التي أبطلها الله عز وجل.

This was their false and incorrect da'wah that Allah tabaraka wa ta'ala falsified and deemed it to be incorrect and false.

ومن هنا اتضح لنا أن توحيد الربوبية وتوحيد الألوهية ليسا بمعنى واحد.

So when it came to tawheed al-uluhiyya, right, Allahu ta'ala, He says, referring them, He says, إذا قيل لهم لا إله إلا الله استبيرون That if it is said to them, لا إله إلا الله Say la ilaha illa Allah Believe in la ilaha illa Allah Accept la ilaha illa Allah يستبيرون They would fill up with pride In another verse, they would say أجعَلَ الآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا As He made all of the deities, all of the gods into a single god توحيد الألوهية لا يعترفون به بدليل أنهم يقولون في تربيتهم في الحج لبيك اللهم لبيك لبيك لا شريك لك إلا شريكًا ولا تملكه ولا ملك That when they would come on Hajj, their talbiya would be what? لبيك اللهم لبيك That we are here, O Allah, we are here لبيك لا شريك لك إلا شريكًا ولا That we are here, O Allah, you have no partners except the partners that you have Except the partners that you have So they would ascribe to Allahu Ta'ala partners والعياذ بالله تبارك وتعالى فالقوم يعترفون بربوبية الله وبملك الله وبخلق الله وبرزق الله ولكنهم أنكروا أن يكون الله عز وجل والإله المعبود واحدة So yes, they did believe that Allah is the Creator, the Provider, the Sustainer, the Disposer, all of that But they would not accept la ilaha Because they knew la ilaha illa Allah معناه أنهم في عبودية But that they, if they said these words, they could not worship other than Him جل جلال القوم ولما قيل لهم أنتم تعترفون بربوبية الله فيلزمكم على ذلك أن تعترفوا بالألوهية So if it would be said to them that, "Wait, you believe in Rububiyyah.

If you believe in Rububiyyah, then you're mandated to believe in Uluhiyyah." They would say, ما نعبده إلا ليقربونا إلى الله زلفى No, these gods, and Uzza, and Manat, these gods have built their own worshiping them so that they may bring us closer to Allah هذه هي دعوى مفاسدة الذي أبطلها الله عز وجل This was their false and incorrect da'wah that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala falsified and deemed it to be incorrect and false ومن هنا اتضح لنا أن توحيد الربوبية وتوحيد الألوهية ليس بمعنى واحد So here it becomes very clear توحيد الربوبية وتوحيد الألوهية They do not both have the same meaning They are different meanings كما قلنا الأشعرية الكلامية والأحنافية الماتريدية والكرامية السجستانية والجهمية الجهمية This has been the belief of many such as the Ash'ara, the Kalabiyya, the Maturidiyya from the Hanafiyya, the Karamiya, right? All of these groups, Al-Jahmiyya, Al-Jahadiyya, right? Al-Jahmiyya, uh, Al-Jahadiyya, both of these groups, they come one from the other وهكذا كل هؤلاء الطوائف من المتكلمين المتفلسفين الذين أعرضوا عن القرآن والسنة الغيا وانشغلوا بالفلسفة والكلام And this is the reality of all of these groups that occupy themselves with Kalam and Falsafa and, uh, uh, uh, philosophy and they turned away from the Quran and the Sunnah.

If it's a lay of Bani Maruf or Tayyib, you find these individuals, especially, especially in Britain, in the West, these people who come in the very beginning and they have this cloak of Salafi or they have a cloak of Sunnah, but, but you find very soon because these are people that are after fame and fortune and they want to get followers and they want to get likes and they want to get famous on social media and have large followings because that, of course, all translates into money in the pockets.

It translates fame and fortune on social media.

And he was astonished.

All the others would say in the name of Al-Uzza, in the name of Al-Lat, the Arab idol gods.

But this child, he was the only one saying Bismillah.

Buhayrah kept observing him.

Anyways, there are many books nowadays that show that.

So Buhayrah kept questioning this boy, Muhammad, and he tested him with an oath familiar to Quraysh.

He said, I ask you buy Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, the idols that were great among his people.

And this is weird, Buhairah is a Christian swearing by Al-Latin Al-Uzza? Why did Buhairah do that? See, he was smart.

The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam had those destroyed the time of Fath Mecca.

Then he had sent expeditions to go destroy Lat, Uzza.

And then now, towards the end of his life, he's sending Jarir bin Abdillah to go and destroy Dhul Khalasa.

So Jarir radiallahu anhu, he says, "Oh, Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam, inni la athbutu ala al-khayl.
