Al-Kahf 18:21 وكذالك اعثرنا عليهم ليعلموا ان وعد الله حق وان الساعة لا ريب فيها اذ يتنازعون بينهم امرهم فقالوا ابنوا عليهم بنيانا ربهم اعلم بهم قال الذين غلبوا على امرهم لنتخذن عليهم مسجدا ٢١
وَكَذَٰلِكَ
أَعۡثَرۡنَا
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
لِيَعۡلَمُوٓاْ
أَنَّ
وَعۡدَ
ٱللَّهِ
حَقّٞ
وَأَنَّ
ٱلسَّاعَةَ
لَا
رَيۡبَ
فِيهَآ
إِذۡ
يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
أَمۡرَهُمۡۖ
فَقَالُواْ
ٱبۡنُواْ
عَلَيۡهِم
بُنۡيَٰنٗاۖ
رَّبُّهُمۡ
أَعۡلَمُ
بِهِمۡۚ
قَالَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
غَلَبُواْ
عَلَىٰٓ
أَمۡرِهِمۡ
لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ
عَلَيۡهِم
مَّسۡجِدٗا

[Some] said, ‘Construct a building over them: their Lord knows best about them.’ Those who prevailed said, ‘We shall build a place of worship over them.’
