109.
Is he who founded his building on piety and His good pleasure better, or he
who founded his building on the brink of a crumbling, overhanging precipice
so that it toppled with him into the fire of Hell? And Allah guideth not
wrongdoing folk.

Commentary
‘Assasa –
(founded, laid a foundation), it is a past tense, origin of which is taasiis;
and derived from ‘asasa. From it another word has come out – ‘asaas,
use of which is famous as foundation, basis, root and source. ‘Assun is
it’s another form; which is used for the same meaning.
Jurufun –
(precipice, abyss), a pit or a trench, brink of which has been excavated by
flowing water and which is near to fall.
Haarin is the
subject from ha-wa-ra and fan-haara, which is
later, that has the same origin and it is past tense. The word ‘Anhaar means
“to fall down”.
Masjid Qubaa and
that Mosque, which was built for opposing the first and according to command
of Qur’aan, it was named as Masjid Zaraar, were
already being discussed. It has been mentioned that it was better to stand for
praying in the first Mosque Qubaa), which was built by the honest, pure
and true people only for the worship of Allah Almighty, than standing to pray
in that Mosque (Masjid Zaraar) which was built by malicious people and
those who spread dissension.
It is commanded: The person who
builds any Mosque with the intention that there; worshipers of Allah Almighty
and His obedient servants should be assembled for offering Prayer, is better
than the person whose intentions are wandering. By building a mosque he doesn’t
intend to acquire pleasure of Allah Almighty, but for different worldly
purposes. Its example is just like as someone who founded his building on
the brink of a crumbling, definitely one day, it will overhang at the
precipice, so that it would be toppled. Later on, due to his ill-will, he
will fall in the Fire of the Hell along with his doings.
It is obvious from this verse
that fear and pleasure of Allah Almighty should be basis of a mankind’s every
action. Except it, other all intentions will be finished with the worldly life
and the deeds which were based on them, which were apparently good; all will be
wasted.
