Overview
Yaghuth: the idol of Murad of Yemeni Madhhij; one of Noah's people's idols which the Qur'an names.
In the sira presentation
Al-Mubarakpuri mentions that idolatry entered the Arabs in the time of Amr ibn Luhayy, who saw the people of al-Balqa venerating idols and carried them to the Hijaz — until every clan had an idol and every house an idol 1.
For young visitors
Yaghuth is an idol some Arabs worshipped before Islam instead of God — until Islam demolished all the idols.
