Translation

EN

But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians except the righteous; but most of them do not understand.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

yet why should God not punish them when they debar people from the Sacred Mosque, although they are not its [rightful] guardians? Only those mindful of God are its rightful guardians, but most of the disbelievers do not realize this.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

What (plea) have they that Allah should not punish them, when they debar (His servants) from the Inviolable Place of Worship, though they are not its fitting guardians. Its fitting guardians are those only who keep their duty to Allah. But most of them know not.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

But why should Allāh not punish them while they obstruct [people] from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and they were not [fit to be] its guardians? Its [true] guardians are not but the righteous, but most of them do not know.

Saheeh Internationalall-rights-reserved

TR

Yoksa Mescidi Haram'a girmekten menederlerken Allah onlara niçin azab etmesin? Hem de O'nun dostu değiller; O'nun dostları ancak karşı gelmekten sakınanlardır. Fakat çoğu bunu bilmiyorlar.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Şimdi ise Allah'ın kendilerine azab etmemesi için neleri var ki? Oysa Mescidi Haram'dan menediyorlar. Üstelik onun hizmetine ehil kişiler de değiller. Çünkü onun hizmetine ehil olanlar ancak müttakilerdir. Lâkin çoğu bunu bilmezler.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Onlar (Kâbe'nin) gerçek dostları olmadıkları hâlde Mescid-i Haram’dan (Müslümanları) engellerken Allah onlara ne diye azap etmeyecekmiş ki! Onun (Kâbe’nin) gerçek dostları, muttakîlerden başkası değildir. Fakat onların çoğu bilmez.

AR

وكيف لا يستحقُّون عذاب الله، وهم يصدون أولياءه المؤمنين عن الطواف بالكعبة والصلاة في المسجد الحرام؟ وما كانوا أولياء الله، إنْ أولياء الله إلا الذين يتقونه بأداء فرائضه واجتناب معاصيه، ولكن أكثر الكفار لا يعلمون؛ فلذلك ادَّعوا لأنفسهم أمرًا، غيرهم أولى به.
