Fiction, Faith and the Fatwa on the Question of the ‘Satanic Verses’
These questionable controversial verses that came to be known as ‘satanic verses,’ authorized intercessory prayers to al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat — three Meccan female deities. These deities are the daughters of Hubul, the lord of the Arabian city of Mecca (the birthplace of Muhammad) and the Kaaba (the House of God). Each of them had her own shrine around Mecca.
