Pray Time
53 : 20
وَمَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةَ الْأُخْرَى
And Manat, the third - the other one?

Tafseer
{ ومناة الثالثة } للتين قبلها { الأخرى } صفة ذم للثالثة وهي أصنام من حجارة كان المشركون يعبدونها ويزعمون أنها تشفع لهم عند الله، ومفعول أفرأيتم الأول اللات وما عطف عليه والثاني محذوف والمعنى أخبروني ألهذه الأصنام قدرة على شيء ما فتعبدونها دون الله القادر على ما تقدم ذكره، ولما زعموا أيضا أن الملائكة بنات الله مع كراهتهم البنات نزلت .
{And Manat the third} refers to the fig before it. {The other} is an attribute of blame for the third, which are idols made of stone that the polytheists used to worship and claim that they interceded for them with God. The object of the first “Have you seen” is Al-Lat and what was conjoined to it, and the second is omitted. The meaning is, “Tell me, do these idols have the power to do anything, so that you worship them instead of God, who is able to do what was mentioned previously?” And when they also claimed that the angels were daughters of God, despite their hatred of daughters, it was revealed.
