وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَـٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُۥ وَسَعَىٰ فِى خَرَابِهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ ۚ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

Translations of Quran 2:114
EnglishTalal Itani

Who is more unjust than him who forbids the remembrance of Allah’s name in places of worship, and contributes to their ruin? These ought not to enter them except in fear. For them is disgrace in this world, and for them is a terrible punishment in the Hereafter.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And who doth greater wrong than he who forbiddeth the approach to the sanctuaries of Allah lest His name should be mentioned therein, and striveth for their ruin. As for such, it was never meant that they should enter them except in fear. Theirs in the world is ignominy and theirs in the Hereafter is an awful doom.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allahın mescidlerini içlerinde Allahın ismi anılmakdan meneden ve harab olmaları zımnında çalışan kimselerden daha zalim de kim olabilir? Bunlar oralara korka korka olmakdan başka suretle girmek salâhiyetini haiz değildirler, bunlara Dünyada bir zillet var, bunlara Ahırette azîm bir azap var

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Qui est plus, injuste que ceux qui empêchent que le nom de Dieu retentisse dans les temples, et qui travaillent à leur ruine ? Ils ne devraient y entrer qu’en tremblant. L’ignominie sera leur partage dans ce monde, et un châtiment cruel leur est préparé dans l’autre.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Wie is onrechtvaardiger dan hij, welke de tempelen beletten wil, waar Gods naam geprezen zal worden en deze tracht te vernietigen. Slechts sidderend kunnen zij die binnentreden. Zij zullen in deze wereld door smaad, in de toekomende door strenge straf getroffen worden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Chi è più ingiusto di colore che impediscono il rimbombo del nome di Dio ne’ tempj, e che si affaticano di minarli? Non dovrebbero entrarvi se nonchè tremando. L’ignominia sarà il loro guadagno in questo mondo, ed un castigo crudele è lor preparato nell’altro.
