Manat

One of a triad of northern Arabic goddesses considered to be Allah’s daughters (with AL-LÃT and AL-UZZA. Their mother is DUSHRAT. Manat was considered to be the Nabataeans’ goddess of destiny or fate. Under Hellenisation, Manawat was associated – at Palmyra – with the Greek/Roman goddess Nemesis/Fate. She is also the hearth-goddess of Petra. As with AL‘UZZA, Manawat similarly does not emerge to any major role among the Nabataeans, judging from the relative infrequency with which she was invoked in ancient inscriptions. Her major domain would seem to have been around Hegra, although she, like her sisters Al-‘Uzza and Al-Lat, survived until the coming of Islam. Her image does not appear among the pre-Islamic ‘idols’ at Mecca, however, and she may never have been represented there
