At-Tawbah 9:19 ۞ اجعلتم سقاية الحاج وعمارة المسجد الحرام كمن امن بالله واليوم الاخر وجاهد في سبيل الله لا يستوون عند الله والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين ١٩

وَعِمَارَةَ
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
ٱلۡحَرَامِ
كَمَنۡ

بِٱللَّهِ
وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ

وَجَٰهَدَ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِۚ

ٱللَّهِۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
لَا
يَهۡدِي
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
