"The Difference between Masjid At-Taqwa and Masjid Ad-Dirar
Allah says;
أَفَمَنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَى تَقْوَى مِنَ اللّهِ وَرِضْوَانٍ خَيْرٌ أَم مَّنْ أَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَىَ شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهِ
Is it then he who laid the foundation of his building on Taqwa to Allah and His good pleasure better, or he who laid the foundation of his building on the brink of an undetermined precipice ready to crumble down, so that it crumbled to pieces with him,
Allah the Exalted says that the Masjid that has been built on the basis of Taqwa of Allah and His pleasure is not the same as a Masjid that was been built based on causing harm, disbelief and causing division among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His Messenger. The latter built their Masjid on the edge of a steep hole,
فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَاللّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
into the fire of Hell. And Allah guides not the people who are the wrongdoers.
Allah does not bring aright the works of those who commit mischief.
Jabir bin Abdullah said,
""I ﷺ the Masjid that was built to cause harm with smoke rising up from it, during the time of the Messenger of Allah.""
Allah's statement
لَا يَزَالُ بُنْيَانُهُمُ الَّذِي بَنَوْاْ رِيبَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ
The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of hypocrisy and doubt in their hearts.
Because of this awful action that they committed, they inherited hypocrisy in their hearts, just as those who worshipped the calf were inclined to adoring it.
Allah said next,
إِلاَّ أَن تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ
unless their hearts are cut to pieces.
According to Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Zayd bin Aslam, As-Suddi, Habib bin Abi Thabit, Ad-Dahhak, Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam and several other scholars of the Salaf.
until they die,
وَاللّهُ عَلِيمٌ
And Allah is All-Knowing,
of the actions of His creation,
حَكِيمٌ
All-Wise.
in compensating them for their good or evil actions."
