Al-Anfal (Spoils of War, Booty)

Verse No. 34

وَمَا لَهُمْ أَلاَّ يُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللّهُ وَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُواْ أَوْلِيَاءهُ إِنْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُ إِلاَّ الْمُتَّقُونَ وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لاَ يَعْلَمُون

“Have they not deserved God’s retribution, by repelling others from the sacred mosque, even though they are not the custodians thereof? The true custodians thereof are the righteous, but most of them do not know”.
Verse No. 35

وَمَا كَانَ صَلاَتُهُمْ عِندَ الْبَيْتِ إِلاَّ مُكَاء وَتَصْدِيَةً فَذُوقُواْ الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ

And their prayer at the Sacred House (Kabba) is nothing but whistling and clapping of hands. 'Taste then the punishment because you disbelieved.'
