Dushara

Ḏušarē, (Nabataean Arabic: 𐢅𐢈𐢝𐢛𐢀‎ dwšra) also transliterated as Dushara, and Dousárēs, is a pre-Islamic Arabian god worshipped by the Nabataeans at Raqmu (Petra) and Hegra (Madain Saleh) (of which city he was the patron). Safaitic inscriptions imply he was the son of Allat, and that he assembled in the heavens with other gods. He is called "Ḏušarē from Petra" in one inscription. Ḏušarē was expected to bring justice if called by the correct ritual.
