EnglishSaheeh International
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.

யார் மேலானவர்? பயபக்தியுடன் அல்லாஹ்வின் திருப்பொருத்தத்தை நாடி ஒரு கட்டடத்தின் அடிப்படையை அமைத்தவரா? அல்லது (தானே சரிந்துவிடக்கூடிய) பூமியை ஒட்டி அடிப்படையிட்டு (அந்த அடிப்படையில்) கட்டடத்தை - அதுவும் சரிந்து பொடிப்பொடியாக நொறுங்கி அவருடன் நரக நெருப்பில் விழுந்து விடும் (கட்டடத்தை அமைத்தவரா?) அல்லாஹ் அநியாயக்கார மக்களை நேர் வழியில் நடத்த மாட்டான்.

වඩාත් ශ්‍රේෂ්ඨ වනුයේ අල්ලාහ් පිළිබඳ වූ බිය හැඟීමෙන් යුතුව (ඔහුගේ) තෘප්තිය බලාපොරොත්තුවෙන් ගොඩනැගිල්ලක් ඉදි කරන්නා ද එසේ නැතහොත්, ඒ සමඟ ම නිරා ගින්නට වැටෙන තත්ත්වයේ ගරා වැටෙන ඉවුරු තීරුවේ ගොඩනැගිල්ලක් ඉදි කරන්නා ද? තවද අල්ලාහ් අපරාධකාරී ජනයාට මඟ නො පෙන්වයි.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
پھر آیا ایسا شخص بہتر ہے جس نے اپنی عمارت کی بنیاد اللہ سے ڈرنے پر اور اللہ کی خوشنودی پر رکھی ہو، یا وه شخص، کہ جس نے اپنی عمارت کی بنیاد کسی گھاٹی کے کنارے پر جو کہ گرنے ہی کو ہو، رکھی ہو، پھر وه اس کو لے کر آتش دوزخ میں گر پڑے ، اور اللہ تعالیٰ ایسے ﻇالموں کو سمجھ ہی نہیں دیتا۔

アッラーを畏れ,かれの御喜びを求めてその家の礎えを定め建てる者と,砕け崩れそうな崖のふちにその家の礎えを定めて建て,地獄の火の中に共に砕け落ちる者と,どちらが優れているか。アッラーは不義を行う民を導かれない。
ChineseMa Jian
以敬畏真主并祈求其喜悦为地基者更好呢?还是以倾颓的悬崖的边缘为地基,因而随著坠入火狱者更好呢?真主不引导不义的民众。

Tafsir of 9:109

The Difference between Masjid At-Taqwa and Masjid Ad-Dirar Allah the Exalted says that the Masjid that has been built on the basis of Taqwa of Allah and His pleasure is not the same as a Masjid that was been built based on causing harm, disbelief and causing division among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His Messenger . The latter built their Masjid on the edge of a steep hole, فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَاللَّهُ لاَ يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظَّلِمِينَ (into the fire of Hell. And Allah guides not the people who are the wrongdoers.), Allah does not bring aright the works of those who commit mischief. Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "I saw the Masjid that was built to cause harm with smoke rising up from it, during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

Because of this awful action that they committed, they inherited hypocrisy in their hearts, just as those who worshipped the calf were inclined to adoring it.…
