[Moses] said, “Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, ‘No contact.’ And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your ‘god’ to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast. (Quran 20:97)

They ask you regarding the mountains; proclaim, “My Lord will blow them into bits and scatter them.” (Quran 20:105)
