They said, we have built a zawiyyah. We came to see  their zawiyyah. We began to speak of God and they told us that remembrance of Allah is not allowed in the zawiyyah.

They said that since dhikr Allah bothers the kuffar, they had decided to do away with it. Or rather, hold separate meetings in their homes.

What these people have actually built is a social club. A place where people idle their time away in small talk.

But we pray here they said. Okay, we yield. What they've actually built is a social club/mosque. Still not a zawiyyah.
