Transliteration:( Afaman assasa bunyaanahoo 'alaa taqwaa minal laahi wa ridwaanin khairun am man assasa bunyaanahoo 'alaa shafaa jurufin haarin fanhaara bihee fee Naari Jahannam; wallaahu laa yahdil qawmaz zaalimeen )
303. Foundation of one's faith, one's deeds or of this mosque. This refers to the Ansars of Masjide Quba. From this we learn that their piety and God-fearing has been testified by the Holy QUR'AAN, and that these people built this mosque in a spirit of sincerety which was accepted by Allah Almighty. Now if anyone doubts their faith and piety is rejecting this verse.Â
304. Admission of their faith, or of their outward Salaah and fasting or that of Masjide Diraar. This refers to those hypocrites who had been responsible for the building of Masjide Diraar,Â
305. Allah Almighty be praised! What a beautiful companion! The purpose of it is to show that all the deeds of the hypocrites are like the hollow structure of Masjide Diraar which is constructed on ground cut from beneath the sea.Â
Such a ground with its structure are bound to cave into the sea. The mosque of the hypocrites and the hypocrites themselves are like those which would cave into the fire of Hell. Hazrat Jabr (May Allah be pleased with him) says when this mosque was being demolished at the instruction of the Holy صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم Prophet saw smoke of Hell emanating from it. (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan)
306. From this we learn one should not accept a person's piety merely from his sweet talk and outward piety. All that glitters is not gold.

109. Is it then he who laid the foundation of his building on Taqwa to Allah and His good pleasure better, or he who laid the foundation of his building on the brink of an undetermined precipice ready to crumble down, so that it crumbled to pieces with him into the fire of Hell. And Allah guides not the people who are the wrongdoers. 110. The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of hypocrisy and doubt in their hearts unless their hearts are cut to pieces. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Allah the Exalted says that the Masjid that has been built on the basis of Taqwa of Allah and His pleasure is not the same as a Masjid that was been built based on causing harm, disbelief and causing division among the believers, and as an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His Messenger . The latter built their Masjid on the edge of a steep hole,
(into the fire of Hell. And Allah guides not the people who are the wrongdoers.), Allah does not bring aright the works of those who commit mischief. Jabir bin `Abdullah said, “I saw the Masjid that was built to cause harm with smoke rising up from it, during the time of the Messenger of Allah .†Allah’s statement,
(The building which they built will never cease to be a cause of doubt in their hearts) and hypocrisy. Because of this awful action that they committed, they inherited hypocrisy in their hearts, just as those who worshipped the calf were inclined to adoring it. Allah said next,
(unless their hearts are cut to pieces.) until they die, according to Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Zayd bin Aslam, As-Suddi, Habib bin Abi Thabit, Ad-Dahhak, `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam and several other scholars of the Salaf.
(And Allah is All-Knowing,) of the actions of His creation,
(All-Wise.) in compensating them for their good or evil actions.
103. In order to comprehend fully the implications of this simile, let us first consider the significance of the Arabic word Juruf. This applies to the brink of that piece of land which has been undermined by a river or a stream, leaving its surface without any support. In this meaningful simile the construction of the structure of life on the Godless foundations has been compared to that building which is built on the river brink, which has been undermined by its water. It is obvious that the ignorant man who builds a structure on the surface of such a piece of land, merely because it is a piece of land, will not only lose the building but will also lose his own life, for it will inevitably fall down into the river along with him because it has nothing to support it. Likewise, the one who lays the foundation of the structure of the system of his life on the surface of worldly things, without any regard to God’s fear or His favor which are the only permanent supports of human life, is like the man who builds his structure on the surface undermined by the river. For such a man, he himself undermines the structure of his life by his wrong deeds which inevitably follow if there is no bedrock of God’s fear and His favor. Therefore the surface on which he had built his life would one day inevitably tumble down into the abyss of Hell along with the earnings of his whole life.
104. “Guideâ€, that leads to man’s real success.
