وَمَا But what wamā (is) for them lahum that not allā (should) punish them yuʿadhibahumu Allah l-lahu while they wahum hinder (people) yaṣuddūna from ʿani Al-Masjid l-masjidi Al-Haraam l-ḥarāmi while not wamā they are kānū its guardians awliyāahu Not (can be) in its guardians awliyāuhu except illā the ones who fear Allah l-mutaqūna but walākinna most of them aktharahum (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
But why should Allāh not punish them while they obstruct [people] from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and they were not [fit to be] its guardians? Its [true] guardians are not but the righteous, but most of them do not know.
وَمَا And not wamā was kāna their prayer ṣalātuhum at ʿinda the House l-bayti except illā whistling mukāan and clapping wataṣdiyatan So taste fadhūqū the punishment l-ʿadhāba because bimā you used to kuntum disbelieve takfurūna
And their prayer at the House [i.e., the Kaʿbah] was not except whistling and handclapping. So taste the punishment for what you disbelieved [i.e., practiced of deviations].
