In pre-Islamic Arabia, Ozza was one of the most important goddesses worshiped by the Quraysh tribe. She was considered a powerful deity, along with Al-Lat and Manat, forming a group of prominent idols worshiped before the advent of Islam.

Ozza was believed to influence fertility, prosperity, and protection, and the Quraysh performed rituals and sacrifices in her honor. The Kaaba itself housed idols of Ozza, Al-Lat, and Manat, reflecting the polytheistic culture prevalent at the time.

The worship of Ozza, like other pre-Islamic deities, was completely abolished with the advent of Islam and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), who emphasized Tawheed (Oneness of Allah). The Quran repeatedly warns against idol worship and teaches that Allah alone is the true source of guidance, protection, and blessings.
