وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ take مَسْجِدًۭا a masjid ضِرَارًۭا (for causing) harm وَكُفْرًۭا and (for) disbelief وَتَفْرِيقًۢا and (for) division بَيْنَ among ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers وَإِرْصَادًۭا and (as) a station لِّمَنْ for whoever حَارَبَ warred ٱللَّهَ (against) Allah وَرَسُولَهُۥ and His Messenger مِن before قَبْلُ ۚ before وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ And surely they will swear إِنْ Not أَرَدْنَآ we wish إِلَّا except ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۖ the good وَٱللَّهُ But Allah يَشْهَدُ bears witness إِنَّهُمْ indeed, they لَكَـٰذِبُونَ (are) surely liars ١٠٧

And [there are] those [hypocrites] who took for themselves a mosque for causing harm and disbelief and division among the believers and as a station for whoever had warred against Allāh and His Messenger before. And they will surely swear, "We intended only the best." And Allāh testifies that indeed they are liars.

لَا (Do) not تَقُمْ stand فِيهِ in it أَبَدًۭا ۚ ever لَّمَسْجِدٌ A masjid أُسِّسَ founded عَلَى on ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ the righteousness مِنْ from أَوَّلِ (the) first يَوْمٍ day أَحَقُّ (is) more worthy أَن that تَقُومَ you stand فِيهِ ۚ in it فِيهِ Within it رِجَالٌۭ (are) men يُحِبُّونَ who love أَن to يَتَطَهَّرُوا۟ ۚ purify themselves وَٱللَّهُ and Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُطَّهِّرِينَ the ones who purify themselves ١٠٨

Do not stand [for prayer] within it - ever. A mosque founded on righteousness from the first day is more worthy for you to stand in. Within it are men who love to purify themselves; and Allāh loves those who purify themselves.

أَفَمَنْ Then is (one) who أَسَّسَ founded بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ his building عَلَىٰ on تَقْوَىٰ righteousness مِنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَرِضْوَٰنٍ and (His) pleasure خَيْرٌ better أَم or مَّنْ (one) who أَسَّسَ founded بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ his building عَلَىٰ on شَفَا edge جُرُفٍ (of) a cliff هَارٍۢ (about to) collapse فَٱنْهَارَ so it collapsed بِهِۦ with him فِى in نَارِ (the) Fire جَهَنَّمَ ۗ (of) Hell وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the wrongdoing people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoing people ١٠٩

Then is one who laid the foundation of his building on righteousness [with fear] from Allāh and [seeking] His approval better or one who laid the foundation of his building on the edge of a bank about to collapse, so it collapsed with him into the fire of Hell? And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

لَا Not يَزَالُ (will) cease بُنْيَـٰنُهُمُ their building ٱلَّذِى which بَنَوْا۟ they built رِيبَةًۭ a (cause of) doubt فِى in قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts إِلَّآ except أَن that تَقَطَّعَ (are) cut into pieces قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ their hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلِيمٌ (is) All-Knower حَكِيمٌ All-Wise ١١٠

Their building which they built will not cease to be a [cause of] skepticism in their hearts until their hearts are cut [i.e., stopped]. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.

۞ إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah ٱشْتَرَىٰ (has) purchased مِنَ from ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers أَنفُسَهُمْ their lives وَأَمْوَٰلَهُم and their wealth بِأَنَّ because لَهُمُ for them ٱلْجَنَّةَ ۚ (is) Paradise يُقَـٰتِلُونَ They fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah فَيَقْتُلُونَ they slay وَيُقْتَلُونَ ۖ and they are slain وَعْدًا A promise عَلَيْهِ upon Him حَقًّۭا true فِى in ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ the Taurat وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ and the Injeel وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ and the Quran وَمَنْ And who أَوْفَىٰ (is) more faithful بِعَهْدِهِۦ to his promise مِنَ than ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah فَٱسْتَبْشِرُوا۟ So rejoice بِبَيْعِكُمُ in your transaction ٱلَّذِى which بَايَعْتُم you have contracted بِهِۦ ۚ [with it] وَذَٰلِكَ And that هُوَ it ٱلْفَوْزُ (is) the success ٱلْعَظِيمُ the great ١١١

Indeed, Allāh has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allāh, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’ān. And who is truer to his covenant than Allāh? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment.
