Yaghūth

Yaghūth(Arabic"He Helps" يَغُوثَ) was a deity referred to in theQuran(71:23) as a god of the era of the Islamic prophetNoah:

And they say: Forsake not your gods, nor forsakeWadd,norSuwa',nor Yaghuth andYa'uqandNasr.(Qur'an71:23)

Maulana Muhammad Alicomments:

The names of the idols given here are those which existed in Arabia inthe Prophet's time, and hence some critics call it an anachronism. [...] According toIʿAb,the idols of Noah's people were worshipped by the Arabs,Waddbeing worshipped byKalb,SuwāʿbyHudhail,Yaghūth byMurād,YaʿūqbyHamadānandNasrbyḤimyar(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).
