Whoever seeks to relegate it from Ideology to ritualism, directly or through side cannels, We will make him taste an awful doom. (Zulm = Relegation from the rightful place).

Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allah and [from] al-Masjid al-îaram, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside; and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] or wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

Whosoever deviates therein from the Right Way and acts with iniquity,[4] We shall cause him to taste a painful chastisement.

_Footnotes_
- [1] "Those who disbelieved" were the people who rejected the message of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The subsequent theme clearly shows that they were the disbelievers of Makkah.
- [2] That is, they debarred the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his followers from performing Hajj and Umrah.
- [3] That is, this is not exclusively the property of any person or family or clan but is meant for all mankind alike. Therefore none has any right to debar others from it.
- [4] In this connection, two questions have arisen among the Jurists of Islam:

### Hamid S. Aziz

For they are guided to goodly speech, and they shall be guided to the path of Him who is worthy of all praise (the All-laudable or Glorious One).

### Mahmoud Ghali

Surely the ones who have disbelieved and bar from the way of Allah and the Inviolable Mosque that We have made equal to mankind- (alike are) him who consecrates himself therein and the nomad- (The Sabaeans) and whoever would (dare) blasphemy therein unjustly, (Christians) We will let him taste (his share) of a painful torment.
