وما لهم الا يعذبهم الله وهم يصدون عن المسجد الحرام وما كانوا اولياءه ان اولياؤه الا المتقون ولكن اكثرهم لا يعلمون

But what plea have they That God should not punish Them, when they keep out (Men) from the Sacred Mosque— And they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians Except the righteous; but most Of them do not understand.
