Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 114

وَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ مَّنَعَ مَسٰجِدَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ یُّذْكَرَ فِیْهَا اسْمُهٗ وَسَعٰی فِیْ خَرَابِهَا اُولٰٓىِٕكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ اَنْ یَّدْخُلُوْهَاۤ اِلَّا خَآىِٕفِیْنَ لَهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا خِزْیٌ وَّلَهُمْ فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

Wa man azlamu mimmam-mana'a masaajidal laahi ai-yuzkara feehas muhoo wa sa'aa fee kharaabihaaa; ulaaa'ika maa kaana lahum ai yadkhuloohaaa illaa khaaa'ifeen; lahum fiddunyaa khizyunw wa lahum fil aakhirati 'azaabun 'azeem

And who is more unjust than he who forbids that in places for the worship of Allah, Allah’s name should be celebrated? Whose zeal is (in fact) to ruin them? It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them except in fear. For them there is nothing but disgrace in this world and in the world to come an exceeding torment.
