وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُۥ وَسَعَىٰ فِى خَرَابِهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ ۚ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌۭ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌۭ
How to read it
Wa man' 'aẓ'lamu mimman mmanaʻa massājida -llahi 'an yudh'kara fīhā (i)s'muhu wassaʻā fī kharābihā . 'ūlā'ika mā kāna lahum' 'an yad'khulūhā 'illā khā'ifīna . lahum' fī ddun'yā khiz'yun walahum' fī l-'ākhirati ʻadhābun ʻaẓīmun
And who is more unjust than he who forbids that in places for the worship of Allah, Allah's name should be celebrated?-whose zeal is (in fact) to ruin them? It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them except in fear. For them there is nothing but disgrace in this world, and in the world to come, an exceeding torment.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
