Translations of Quran 9:18
EnglishTalal Itani

The only people to attend Allah’s places of worship are those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and pray regularly, and practice regular charity, and fear none but Allah. These are most likely to be guided.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

He only shall tend Allah's sanctuaries who believeth in Allah and the Last Day and observeth proper worship and payeth the poor-due and feareth none save Allah. For such (only) is it possible that they can be of the rightly guided.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allahın mescidlerini ancak Allaha ve Âhıret gününe inanan, namaza devam eden, zekâtı veren ve Allahdan başkasından korkmıyan kimseler ma'mur eder, işte bunların muvaffak olmaları me'muldür

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Que les temples de Dieu ne soient visités que par ceux qui croient en Dieu et au jour dernier, qui observent la prière et font l’aumône, et qui ne craignent que lui ; ceux-ci seront peut-être dirigés dans la droite voie.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Maar hij alleen zal Gods tempelen bezoeken, die in God en den laatsten dag gelooft en volhardend in het bidden is: die de voorgeschreven aalmoezen geeft en God vreest. Deze zal misschien tot hen behooren, die op den rechten weg worden geleid.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

I tempi di Dio non devono essere visitati che da coloro che credono in Dio ed al giorno ultimo, che osservano la preghiera, e fanno l’elemosina e che temono lui solo; costoro saranno forse diretti nella via retta.
