An embedding of the universal Askey-Wilson algebra into   $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\otimes U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\otimes   U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$
  The Askey--Wilson algebras were used to interpret the algebraic structure hidden in the Racah--Wigner coefficients of the quantum algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. In this paper, we display an injection of a universal analog $\triangle_q$ of Askey--Wilson algebras into $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\otimes U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)\otimes U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ behind the application. Moreover we formulate the decomposition rules for $3$-fold tensor products of irreducible Verma $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-modules and of finite-dimensional irreducible $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-modules into the direct sums of finite-dimensional irreducible $\triangle_q$-modules.
