18 Preface إِنَّما يَعمُرُ مَساجِدَ اللَّهِ مَن آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَومِ الآخِرِ وَأَقامَ الصَّلاةَ وَآتَى الزَّكاةَ وَلَم يَخشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ ۖ فَعَسىٰ أُولٰئِكَ أَن يَكونوا مِنَ المُهتَدينَYusuf AliThe mosques of God shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in God and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity, and fear none (at all) except God.1 It is they who are expected to be on true guidance.2See the previous note. Sincere Believers are those who have faith in God and the future, and have a spirit of devotion and charity-a true and abiding spirit, not merely isolated acts now and then. Moreover they must not bow to worldly greed or ambition, which produces fear of worldly power.Others may call themselves by what names they like. True guidance is shown by the tests here indicated.
