📖 Commentary of Verse 20 (Surah An-Najm)

"And Manaat [22], as the third one."

[22] Rejection of Idol Worship:
In this verse, the polytheists are addressed, highlighting their worship of idols such as Laat, Manaat, and Uzza. These idols are depicted as lifeless and ignorant, symbolizing the misguided belief in deities that hold no true power. The verse challenges the polytheists for turning away from Allah Almighty, urging them to abandon idol worship and embrace the truth brought by the Holy Prophet ﷺ.
