The Holy Quran 72:18 — Surah Al-Jinn

Arabic text

وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدًا

Translation

Indeed, the Masaajid (prostration and all other forms of worship) are only for Allaah, so do not supplicate to (worship) anyone else with Allaah.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The mosques are for Allah alone: although the whole earth of Allah has been made a place of prostration for this ummah (community), those buildings in particular that are built specially for the worship of Allah under the name of mosques enjoy still greater distinction.
