{2:114} And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of God from being mentioned in His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter them except in fear. For them in this world is disgrace, and they will have in the Hereafter a great punishment.

I'd only change "great punishment" to "grand torment."

Quote:
{2:115} And to God belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of God. Indeed, God is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

A great translation!

Agreed, except for the excessive capitalization. I guess there is a thread under Translation Issues to discuss that.

{2:114} And who are more unjust than those who prevented the mosques of God that therein be mentioned His name, and endeavored toward their ruin? Those - it would not be for them to enter them except fearfully. For them in [this] the nearest [life] is disgrace, and they for them in the Hereafter is a great torment.

{2:115} And to God belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of God. Verily, God is Infinite, All-Knowing.
