وَكَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُٓوا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ ف۪يهَاۚ اِذْ يَتَنَازَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًاۜ رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْۜ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ غَلَبُوا عَلٰٓى اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَسْجِدًا ٢١

English Translation
21Thus We made the people aware of them, so that they might understand that Allah's promise of raising the dead to life is true, and that the Hour, the end of this world, is a reality beyond all doubt. After a while the people began to argue among themselves about them. Some said: "Raise a monument over them; their Lord knows best about their situation." But the group that had gained control over their affair said: "We will certainly build a place of worship there."
