THE UZZA WITCH

How could the Arabs, who were such intelligent people, start worshiping this lifeless idol? What happened to this idol was that the number of worshipers was increasing What did these idols show to the Arabs that they were forced to worship them?

Was this lifeless goddess named Uzza just a stone? Or some supernatural power? we will know the history and fate of the great idol of the Arabs in the age of Jahiliyyah .The Arab nation belongs to the generation of Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him).

These people were monotheists and were on the religion of Abraham But then Iblees made them fall into disbelief, polytheism, and idolatry The polytheists of Arabia had many idols, but among them, three were of great importance and fame.

Their names were Laat Manat and Uzza .Lat Manat and Uzza were worshiped by the Arabs since the time of Jahiliyyah .They used to sacrifice in front of them, ask for their vows, and respect them a lot. Arab Lat Manat and Uzza used to believe in these three idols But among these three, Uzza had the highest position.

The word 'Uzza' is derived from 'Izzat' which means the most respectable The famous Arab tribes Banu Quraysh, Banu Salim, Banu Atfan, Banu Skif, Banu Kinana and Now and Khazraj used to worship Uzza Devi Historians wrote that Lat Manat and Uzza are three sisters while Some wrote that Lat and Manat are sisters while Uzza is their mother. According to the beliefs of polytheists, Lat was the goddess of peace and prosperity while mercy and revenge.

Travelers used to pray to Lat for good weather and safety before starting their journey In all the idols of Lat, it is seen that he has a palm branch in one hand And she rides on a lion, which the Arabs called Asad al-Alat Manat was believed to be the goddess of luck, wealth, honor, and death Uzza Zamana was an important idol of the Arabs of Jahiliyyah which was placed near Taif And the Quraish gave it a lot of importance.

The Quraish used to chant the names of these idols while circumambulating the Kaaba .The three idols of Lat, Manat, and Uzza were also kept in the Kaaba But these were only symbolic idols, the real idols whose temples were built were in the caste area Where people from distant regions of Arabia used to come and worship him and offer sacrifices In front of these idols, there were also sacrificial places where animals were slaughtered.

The Arabs used to believe that these goddesses are the daughters of Allah To the Arabs, Uzza was the goddess of honor, protection, procreation, beauty, passion, and love Three evil witches were associated with these idols These devils are women, that is, female devils There were priests in the temples to take care of these idols and teach people how to worship them Those who used to mislead the people and used to collect the things offered to their idols This idol of Uzza was located in a town called Kharaz, it was a magnificent temple In this temple, a priest called Divya looked after and served Uza At a short distance in front of the temple, there were three Jhao trees, in Arabic, these trees are called Asal.

It is a desert tree that grows in barren and barren deserts No one knew that Uzza had a residence on this Jhao tree The idol worshiped by Uzza is a demonic power Who lives on this tree? Whenever people came to her for offerings and vows, she would enter the idol of the witch temple and speak. She would have solved people's problems with evil forces Thus his master Iblis was pleased with his performance.

When Allah sent the last Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him), And after he conquered Makkah with the help of Allah, after a few days the idols came The idols kept in the Kaaba began to be broken and the light of the true Lord began to shine After the idols were removed from the Kaaba, it was the turn of the temples built in different villages and towns.

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered to break every small and big idol A few historians say that on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, an idol among the idols of Manat He was taken out of Arabia with great secrecy and sent to the land of India And it was transported to present-day Gujarat in India where the idol was moved to a temple Which is known as Somnath Temple. After four and a half hundred years, Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi attacked India and broke this idol.

When all the idols of Makkah were broken, on the twenty-fifth of Ramadan, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Called Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, the most capable general in human history .Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (RA) was entrusted with the mission of destroying Uzza He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (RA). That he should go and cut down one of the three banyan trees near the temple of Uzza So you followed the order and reached Kharaz basti Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (RA) approached the third tree intending to cut it.

Then suddenly a witch named Uzza appeared in front of you She was a naked woman with a scary face She started staring at Hazrat Khalid with fiery eyes Suddenly, the priest of the temple called out in a loud voice and said, "Kill Uzza Khalid." If you don't kill Khalid, you will be humiliated and humiliated today Uzza went towards Hazrat Khalid, he took out his sword and called the name of Allah Uzza was attacked and his head was separated from his body in the first blow After a while, there was a pile of coal in front of you. After killing Uzza, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (R.A.) also tore apart his idol. They then killed the temple priest and went back. He came back and told the story to the last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

"This was Uzi, now it is over forever," the Prophet (peace be upon him) said in response.

He will not be worshiped again and will continue to be worshiped as such for centuries. Saifullah Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, will eradicate this evil power on the orders of the Holy Prophet.
