لَا تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَدًۭا ۚ لَّمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِ ۚ فِيهِ رِجَالٌۭ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُوا۟ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُطَّهِّرِينَ
How to read it
Lā taqum' fīhi 'abadan . llamas'jidun 'ussissa ʻalā ttaq'wā min' 'awwali yaw'min 'aḥaqqu 'an taqūma fīhi . fīhi rijālun yuḥibbūna 'an yataṭahharū . wa-llahu yuḥibbu l-muṭṭahhirīna
Never stand thou forth therein. There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of the standing forth (for prayer) therein. In it are men who love to be purified; and Allah loveth those who make themselves pure.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
