وَ مَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ مَّنَعَ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ یُّذْكَرَ فِیْهَا اسْمُهٗ وَ سَعٰى فِیْ خَرَابِهَاؕ-اُولٰٓىٕكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ اَنْ یَّدْخُلُوْهَاۤ اِلَّا خَآىٕفِیْنَ۬ؕ-لَهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا خِزْیٌ وَّ لَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ(114)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And who would be more unjust than the one who forbids the Masjids of Allah lest His name should be mentioned therein[1] and strives for their ruin;[2] it was not for them to enter Masjids except in fear. For them, there is humiliation in this world and severe punishment in the Hereafter.

Commentary

[1]

To condemn the remembrance of Allah Almighty (dhikr) in any place is evil; however, the offence is particularly more serious in the masjid, as masjids are built for the worship and remembrance of Allah Almighty.

[2]

One who causes the desolation of a masjid in any way is an oppressor.  (See Tafsīr Ṣirāṭ al-Jinān under this verse for more details.)
