Surah Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War), Verse 34

وَمَا لَهُمْ اَلَّا یُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَهُمْ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُوْۤا اَوْلِیَآءَهٗ اِنْ اَوْلِیَآؤُهٗۤ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقُوْنَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Wa maa lahum allaa yu'az zibahumul laahu wa hum yasuddoona 'anil Masjidil-Haraami wa maa kaanooo awliyaaa'ah; in awliyaaa' uhooo illal muttaqoona wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon

“But what plea have they that Allah should not punish them, when they keep out (men) from the sacred Mosque - and they are not its guardians? No men can be its guardians except the righteous; but most of them do not understand.”
