((アラビア語:مناة) (:mæˈnæː(h)) oblique case, (:mæˈnæːt) construct state; also transliterated as ') was one of the three chief goddesses of Mecca.〔''Book of Idols''〕 == History == The pre-Islamic Arabs believed Manāt to be the goddess of fate. The followers prayed to her for rains and victory over enemies. She was possibly connected to the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, who also had the title ''Menītu/Menūtu''. She was known by the cognate name ''Manawat'' to the Nabataeans of Petra (in Jordan), who equated her with the Graeco-Roman goddess Nemesis, and she was considered the wife of Hubal.〔(Hommel, ''First Encyclopaedia of Islam'', Vol. 1. p. 380 )〕 There are also connections with Chronos of Mithraism and Zurvan mythology.〔Grunebaum, p. 24〕 The ''Book of Idols'' describes her: The ruling tribes of al-Madinah, and other Arabs, continued to worship Manat until the time of Muhammad. The temple of Manat was raided and the idol was destroyed on the orders of Muhammad, in the Raid of Sa'd ibn Zaid al-Ashhali, in January 630 AD (8AH, 9th month, of the Islamic Calendar), in the vicinity of al-Mushallal.〔(List of Battles of Muhammad )〕〔(The sealed nectar, By S.
