'குஃப்ரின்' மீது தாங்களே சாட்சி சொல்லிக் கொண்டிருக்கும், இந்த முஷ்ரிக்குகளுக்கு அல்லாஹ்வின் மஸ்ஜிதுகளைப் பரிபாலனம் செய்ய உரிமையில்லை அவர்களுடைய (நற்)கருமங்கள் (யாவும் பலன் தராது) அழிந்துவிட்டன - அவர்கள் என்றென்றும் நரகத்தில் தங்கிவிடுவார்கள்.

Tafsir of 9:17

It is not for Idolators to maintain the Masjids of Allah Allah says that it is not fitting that those who associate others with Allah in worship should maintain the Masjids of Allah that were built in His Name alone without partners.
