  1. وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَكُفْرًا وَتَفْرِيقًا بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًا لِمَنْ حَارَبَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا الْحُسْنَى وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُونَ (107) لَا تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَدًا لَمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَقُومَ فِيهِ فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِينَ (108) أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَى تَقْوَى مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَيْرٌ أَمْ مَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَى شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ (109) لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَانُهُمُ الَّذِي بَنَوْا رِيبَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ (110)
    107. And as for those who chose a place of worship out of opposition and disbelief, and in order to cause dissent
    among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His messenger aforetime, they will
    surely swear : We purposed naught save good. Allah beareth witness that they verily are liars.
    108. Never stand (to pray) there. A place of worship which was founded upon duty (to Allah) from the first day is more
    worthy that thou shouldst stand (to pray) therein, wherein are men who love to purify themselves. Allah loveth the
    61
    purifiers.
    109. Is he who founded his building upon duty to Allah and His good pleasure better; or he who founded his building
    on the brink of a crumbling, overhanging precipice so that it toppled with him into the fire of hell? Allah guideth not
    wrongdoing folk.
    110. The building which they built will never cease to be a misgiving in their hearts unless their hearts be torn to
    pieces. Allah is Knower, Wise.
