تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ ٱلْجِبَالُ هَدًّا

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is an indefinite accusative manner noun after the mountains' falling. It completes a coordinated cosmic reaction in which the heavens nearly rupture and the earth splits, fixing the mountain event as forceful structural collapse.
