إِنَّمَا
يَعْمُرُ
مَسَاجِدَ
اللَّهِ
مَنْ
آمَنَ
بِاللَّهِ
وَالْيَوْمِ
الْآخِرِ
وَأَقَامَ
الصَّلَاةَ
وَآتَى
الزَّكَاةَ
وَلَمْ
يَخْشَ
إِلَّا
اللَّهَ
فَعَسَى
أُولَئِكَ
أَن
يَكُونُوا
مِنَ
الْمُهْتَدِينَ

Only those shall maintain Allah’s mosques who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and maintain the prayer, and give the zakat, and fear no one except Allah. They, hopefully, will be among the guided.
— Ali Quli Qarai
The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity, and fear none (at all) except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance.
