Idols worshipped by the people of Nuh
The names Wadd, Suwa’, Yaghuth, Ya’uq, and Nasr are mentioned in the Quran in the context of idolatry, specifically in Surah Nuh (71:23):
"And they said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa’ or Yaghuth and Ya’uq and Nasr.'"
Meaning: The name "Nasr" means "victory."
Symbolism: Nasr was likely a deity of triumph or success, invoked for blessings in battles or achievements.
Historical Context: Nasr was worshipped by the tribe of Himyar, also in Yemen.
In summary, Wadd, Suwa’, Yaghuth, Ya’uq, and Nasr were once righteous individuals whose legacy was distorted into idol worship, serving as a key example of the dangers of associating partners with Allah in worship.
The Quran and Hadith do not provide detailed genealogical or chronological information about Wadd, Suwa’, Yaghuth, Ya’uq, and Nasr, such as their ages, lineage, or specific life events.
Nasr:
Nasr was represented as an eagle, a motif frequently used in Arabian and Mesopotamian cultures to symbolize power, vision, and dominance.
Nasr resembles the eagle imagery common in Mesopotamian and Arabian iconography.
Prophet Nuh (Noah) in the Quran
They cling to their idols, such as Wadd, Suwa’, Yaghuth, Ya’uq, and Nasr, insisting on following their forefathers' practices.
Planets
There are other gods besides the seven; the text describes the fixed stars such as Sirius as gods, and refers to the Mesopotamian god Tammuz as well as to Nasr, a pre-Islamic Arabian deity.
