وَمَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنۡ مَّنَعَ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ اَنۡ يُّذۡكَرَ فِيۡهَا اسۡمُهٗ وَسَعٰـى فِىۡ خَرَابِهَا ؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمۡ اَنۡ يَّدۡخُلُوۡهَآ اِلَّا خَآٮِٕفِيۡنَ ؕ لَهُمۡ فِى الدُّنۡيَا خِزۡىٌ وَّلَهُمۡ فِى الۡاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيۡمٌ
Wa maun auz-la-mo min maun
Ma-na-aa ma-saa-jay-da ul-laa-ha
Aun yooz-ka-ra fee haa us-mo hoo
Wa sa-aa fee kha-raa-bay haa
O-laa-aiy-ka maa kaa-na
La hoom aun yaud-kho-loo haa il-la khaa-aiy-fee-na
La hoom fee id-doon-yaa khiz-yoon wa
La hoom fee il-aa-khay-ra-tay
Aa-zaa-boon aa-zee-m
And who is more unfair than him
Who prevented the mosques of Allah
That His name is remembered in them
And tried hard in ruining them.
All of them are that it is not proper
For them that they enter them except fearfully.
For them in this life is humiliation and
For them in the Hereafter
Is a grievous punishment.
