مَا
كَانَ
لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ
أَن
يَعْمُرُوا
مَسَاجِدَ
اللَّهِ
شَاهِدِينَ
عَلَى
أَنفُسِهِم
بِالْكُفْرِ
أُولَئِكَ
حَبِطَتْ
أَعْمَالُهُمْ
وَفِي
النَّارِ
هُمْ
خَالِدُونَ

The pagans do not have any right to establish (and patronize) the mosque of God while they testify against their souls to its disbelief. Their deeds are devoid of all virtue and they will live forever in hell fire.
