Manāt (Arabic: مناة, pronounced [maˈnaːh] (pausa) or [maˈnaːt], Old Arabic: [manaˈwat]; 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, Al-Lat and Al-‘Uzzá, and among them, she was the original and the oldest.
