Surah 8

Surah 8:34

"But what (excuse) have they (now) that God should not punish them, when they are keeping (people) from (going to) the Sacred Mosque, and they are not its (true) allies? Its only allies are the ones who guard (themselves), but most of them do not know (it)."

8.34 – But what (excuse) have they (now) that God should not punish them
Those who prevent access to the sacred mosque ( al-masjid al-ḥarām ) have no way of escape from Allah’s punishment.
