Al-lāt

Allāt or al-Lāt (Arabic: اللات‎) was an Arabian deity who was one of the three chief female deities of Mecca. She is mentioned in the Qur'an (Sura 53:19), which indicates that Arabs falsely used to considered her as one of the daughters of Allah, along with Manāt and al-‘Uzzá.
The shrine and temple dedicated to al-Lat in Taif was demolished on the orders of the prophet Muhammad, during the Expedition of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, in the same year as the Battle of Tabuk (which occurred in October 630 AD). The destruction of the idol was a demand by the prophet Muhammad before any reconciliation could take place with the tribes of Taif who were under siege.
