No, there is not a female goddess in Islam.
Islam is strictly monotheistic, meaning it believes in only one God, Allah, who is neither male nor female. The idea of deities or gods besides Allah is considered polytheistic and goes against core Islamic beliefs.
While Islam does not recognize any female goddesses, it is worth noting that there were pre-Islamic deities, including female ones, that were part of the Arabian cultural landscape before the advent of Islam. According to the provided reference, these deities were viewed as threats to the new Islamic faith. The Quran itself mentions three such goddesses:
- Al-Lat: A goddess who was once worshipped in the region.
- Al-'Uzza: Another female deity venerated before Islam.
- Manat: A third goddess, also part of the pre-Islamic pantheon.
These are explicitly mentioned in the Quran (Surah 53:19-23). These verses do not recognize them as divine figures but show them as entities that were worshipped before the revelation of the Quran and the establishment of Islam.
| Goddess Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Al-Lat | A pre-Islamic female deity. |
| Al-'Uzza | Another pre-Islamic female deity. |
| Manat | A third pre-Islamic female deity. |
Therefore, while female deities were present in pre-Islamic Arabia, Islam does not recognize them, and Allah, the God of Islam, has no gender and is the only God.
