The Holy Quran 22:25 — Surah Al-Hajj

Arabic text

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلْنَـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلْعَـٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلْبَادِ ۚ وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍۭ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Translation

Indeed those who commit kufr, who (by any means) forbid (others) from Allaah's path (Islaam) and from the Masjidul Haraam which We have appointed (as a place of worship) for the people, residents and visitors being equal therein, (for these people as well as for) whoever intends to unjustly perpetrate an act of irreligiousness there (in the Masjidul Haraam), We shall let him taste a painful punishment.
