"In spite of its apparent diversity, reports in Islamic traditional literature about the idols and sanctuaries of the Arabs in the jāhiliyya concentrate on a limited number of general topics. The most prominent are the origins of idolatry and of individual idols, in the world generally and in Arabia; the destruction of Arabian idols and sanctuaries with the rise of Islam; and details about the tribes and families with which the Arabian idols were associated."
