Sura 9
Aya 109
109
أَفَمَن أَسَّسَ بُنيانَهُ عَلىٰ تَقوىٰ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضوانٍ خَيرٌ أَم مَن أَسَّسَ بُنيانَهُ عَلىٰ شَفا جُرُفٍ هارٍ فَانهارَ بِهِ في نارِ جَهَنَّمَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الظّالِمينَ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

Who is better — the one who founds his edifice (i.e. mosque) on the fear of Allah and (His) pleasure and satisfaction or the one who lays the foundation of his building on the edge of a crumbling precipice? So, that (building) tumbled down with its architect into the Fire of Hell? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoers.
