”كان العربي في الجاهلية إذا سئل من خلق السموات والأرض؟ يقول الله، وإذا سئل هل خلقت اللات والعزّى شيئا من ذلك؟ يجيب (لا).“

Translation	Before Islam, if an Arab was asked “who created the earth and sky?” he would say Allah, and if he was asked if al-Laat and al-Uzzaa (two pagan gods) had created anything, he would say “no”.
