...Each daughter had a separate shrine near Mecca...where Allah's shrine was located.
As Muhammad grew frustrated and unsuccessful with his evangelism of a new religion…The talk was that he was tricked by the devil into adding a verse in the Koran that commanded Muslims to pray to Allah's three pagan daughters...Lat...Uzza and Manat...(Charles angels as we fondly call them)…
The pagan female trinity was immediately accepted without opposition and the passage was enshrined as part of the early (original) revealed Koran. However… some time later… it was said that Muhammad got another revelation from God that the verse should be removed. After repenting of the error, Muhammad was comforted by God.

The main stream Islam today does not worship these Allah's daughters and considered them as pagan gods. The important issue here is that Muhammad himself commanded his followers to offer prayers to these "Allah's daughters". He later retracted it and blamed it on the Devil.
It is this true event in foundation of Islam or Muhammad's life that sparked the topic of Salman Rushdie's book, "The Satanic Verses."
Stay Tuned…we will be looking at the Original / Old Version / translation Koranic verses and the amended /new version / translation of the same verses with the omitted verses…
