Sura 9
Aya 17
17
ما كانَ لِلمُشرِكينَ أَن يَعمُروا مَساجِدَ اللَّهِ شاهِدينَ عَلىٰ أَنفُسِهِم بِالكُفرِ ۚ أُولٰئِكَ حَبِطَت أَعمالُهُم وَفِي النّارِ هُم خالِدونَ

(Muntakhab)

It is never becoming nor is it consistent for the idolaters to attend the mosques of Allah bearing witness within themselves of their infidelity and the denial of Allah. These are they whose hopes shall be doomed to disappointment and their deeds to worthlessness here and Hereafter, and in Hell shall they have passed through nature to eternal suffering.
