Deity
Yaghūth (Arabic "He Helps" يَغُوثَ) was a deity referred to in the Quran (71:23) as a god of the era of the Islamic prophet Noah :
And they say: Forsake not your gods, nor forsake Wadd , nor Suwa' , nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr . (Qur'an 71:23)
Maulana Muhammad Ali comments:
The names of the idols given here are those which existed in Arabia in the Prophet 's time, and hence some critics call it an anachronism. [...] According to IʿAb , the idols of Noah's people were worshipped by the Arabs, Wadd being worshipped by Kalb , Suwāʿ by Hudhail , Yaghūth by Murād , Yaʿūq by Hamadān and Nasr by Ḥimyar (B. 65:lxxi, 1). The commentators say that Wadd was worshipped in the form of a man, Suwāʿ in that of a woman, Yaghūth in that of a lion, Yaʿūq in that of a horse and Nasr in that of an eagle (Rz ).[ 1]
