description: "Umayyah ibn Abī as-Ṣalt was a pre-Islamic Arabian poet who advocated for monotheism instead of the worship of idols. He was thought to be a member of the Banu Thaqif tribe, with Qurayshi descent on his maternal side. During the rise of Islam, Umayya was an older contemporary of Muhammad that is said to have become a claimant to prophethood and rivalled Muhammad, which earned him a controversial position in Islamic tradition."
