Q 9:109

أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ تَقْوَىٰ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضْوَٰنٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ عَلَىٰ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَٱنْهَارَ بِهِۦ فِى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Traductions

Lequel est plus méritant? Est-ce celui qui a fondé son édifice sur la piété et l'agrément d'Allah, ou bien celui qui a placé les assises de sa construction sur le bord d'une falaise croulante et qui croula avec lui dans le feu de l'Enfer? Et Allah ne guide pas les gens injustes.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

Then is one who laid the foundation of his building on righteousness [with fear] from Allah 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 Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Tafsir

Ceux qui ont fondé leur mosquée sur la crainte d’Allah, consistant à se conformer au commandements d’Allah et à délaisser Ses interdits, ainsi que sur Son agrément obtenu en accomplissant fréquemment des œuvres de bienfaisance, sont-ils égaux à ceux qui ont construit une mosquée afin de nuire aux musulmans, de renforcer la mécréance et de diviser les croyants? Ils ne sont en aucun cas égaux. La première construction est solide et cohérente, nulle crainte qu’elle ne s’écroule, tandis que la seconde est tel un édifice érigé au bord d’un gouffre et qui finit par s’écrouler, entraînant son bâtisseur au fond de l’Enfer. Allah ne facilite pas l’accès à la guidée à ceux dont la mécréance, l’hypocrisie et d’autres péchés rendent injustes.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

Is it then he who laid the foundation of his building on Taqwa to Allah and His good pleasure better, or he who laid the foundation of his building on the brink of an undetermined precipice ready to crumble down, so that it crumbled to pieces with him into the fire of Hell. And Allah guides not the people who are the wrongdoers (109)The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of hypocrisy and doubt in their hearts unless their hearts are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise (110) 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 ﷺ. The latter built their Masjid on the edge of a steep hole, فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ (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." Allah's statement, لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَانُهُمُ الَّذِي بَنَوْا رِيبَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ (The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of doubt in their hearts) and hypocrisy. 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. Allah said next, إِلَّا أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ (unless their hearts are cut to pieces.) until they die, according to Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Zayd bin Aslam, As-Suddi, Habib bin Abi Thabit, Ad-Dahhak, 'Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam and several other scholars of the Salaf. وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ (And Allah is All-Knowing,) of the actions of His creation, حَكِيمٌ (All-Wise.) in compensating them for their good or evil actions.
