Quzah
Quzah is a Pre-Islamic Arabic god of weather,[1] worshiped by the people of Muzdalifah. The pre-Islamic rite of the Ifada celebrated after the autumnal equinox was performed facing the direction of Quzah's sanctuary.[2][3] A lasting reference to Quzah, is the Arabic qaws Quzah, "Bow of Quzah", which became the Arabic term for rainbow.[4]
