۞ اجعلتم سقاية الحاج وعمارة المسجد الحرام كمن امن بالله واليوم الاخر وجاهد في سبيل الله لا يستوون عند الله والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين ١٩
۞ أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ ٱلْحَآجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَجَـٰهَدَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ لَا يَسْتَوُۥنَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ١٩

Do you ˹pagans˺ consider providing the pilgrims with water and maintaining the Sacred Mosque as equal to believing in Allah and the Last Day and struggling in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in Allah’s sight. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Readings
سِقَايَةَ - عِمَارَةَ
siqāyata...ʿwa-imārata
“giving water to pilgrims and tending to the Sacred Mosque”
In this reading, both words are verbal nouns, so these acts are being compared to what is done by those who believe and strive in God's way.
سُقَاةَ - عَمَرَةَ
suqāta...wa-ʿamarata*
“those who give water to pilgrims and tend to the Sacred Mosque”
This reading has two plural nouns, so a direct comparison is made between these people and those who believe and strive. *This is one narration from Ibn Wardān, who also has a narration agreeing with the majority.

Explanation

These readings amount to the same meaning [al-Alusi].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
