"Come not to Allat, for God hath doomed her to destruction; How can you stand by one which doth not triumph? Verily that which, when set on fire, resisted not the flames, Nor saved her stones, is inglorious and worthless. Hence when the Apostle in your place shall arrive. And then leave, not one of her votaries shall be left."

Expedition of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb
Expedition of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb or the Demolition of al-Lat, occurred in the same year as the Battle of Tabuk[1] (which occurred in October 630 AD[2] ). Muhammad sent Abu Sufyan[3] with a group armed men to destroy the Idol AllÄt (also referred to as al-Tagiyyah) that was worshipped by the citizens of Taif.[citation needed] The destruction of the idol was a demand by Muhammad before any reconciliation could take place with the citizens of Taif.
