Sura 9 At-Tawbah (The Repentance), ayah 108

  1. لَا تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَدًا ۚ لَمَسْجِدٌ أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَىٰ مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَقُومَ فِيهِ ۚ فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَطَهَّرُوا ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَّهِّرِينَ

    Translation by words

    لَا
    (Do) not
    تَقُمْ
    stand
    فِيهِ
    in it
    أَبَدًا
    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
    رِجَالٌ
    (are) men
    يُحِبُّونَ
    who love
    أَن
    to
    يَتَطَهَّرُوا۟
    purify themselves,
    وَٱللَّهُ
    and Allah
    يُحِبُّ
    loves
    ٱلْمُطَّهِّرِينَ
    the ones who purify themselves.

    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 Allah loves those who purify themselves.
