Amr ibn Luhay (Arabic: عمرو بن لُحَيّ) was a pre-Islamic tribal chief of the Banu Khuza'ah tribe.[1][2][3] 'Amr gained an infamous reputation in Islamic tradition, as he was supposedly the first person to change the religion of the Arabs living in the Arabian Peninsula by introducing idolatry and polytheistic practices.[4][5] He is believed to have lived around the 3rd to 4th centuries CE.[6][7] Some modern historians believe it was not 'Amr who introduced idolatry, but rather, Hudhayl ibn Mudrikah.[2]
