53:19

أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the unrooted proper name ٱللَّات at 53:19. The audience is asked to consider Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, followed by Manat; the passage identifies these as female names assigned by the opponents, lacking authority from God and followed only through conjecture and desire. The coordinated proper-name list and ensuing rejection establish a named false deity. The target is accusative proper name as the object of أَفَرَأَيْتُم. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
