114

وَمَنْ مِمَّن أَن فِيهَا فِى أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَا لَهُمْ أَن إِلَّا لَهُمْ فِى وَلَهُمْ فِى ﴿١١٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allah from being mentioned in His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter them except in fear. For them in this world is disgrace, and they will have in the Hereafter a great punishment.

تخریب و جلوگیری از ورود به مساجد

این آیه در بارةٌ کفار و مشرکان قریش نازل شده که مانع نماز خواندن مسلمانان در مسجدالحرام و اطراف کعبه می‌شدند. البته مفهوم آیه» وسیع و گسترده است و به زمان و مکان معینی محدود نمی‌شود؛ همانند سایر آیاتی که در شرایط خاصی نازل گردیده و حکم آن در همةٌ قرون و اعصار ثابت است. بنا بر این هر کس و هر گروه که به نوعی در تخریب مساجد الهی بکوشد یا مانع از آَنْ شود که نام خدا در آنجا برده شود یا عبادت او در آنجا انجام گیرد. مشمول همان رسوایی و همان عذاب عظیم مذکور در آیه است. توجه به این نکته نیز لازم است که جلوگیری از ورود به مسجد و ذکر نام پروردگار و کوشش در تخریب مسجدء تنها به این نیست که ساختمان آن را با بیل و کلنگ ویران کنند؛ بلکه هر عملی که نتیجهٌ ان از رونق افتادن مسجد باشدء مشمول همین حکم است. همچنین است آنچه باعث شود که مردم از یاد خدا غافل گردند.
