At-Tawbah 18: Only those who believe in Allah and in the hereafter, who establish the prayer, pay obligatory alms and who don’t fear anyone other Allah, will build the masjids of Allah. Those are the ones who are on the right path.

Translation

Only those who believe in Allah and in the hereafter, who establish the prayer, pay obligatory alms and who don’t fear anyone other Allah, will build the masjids of Allah. Those are the ones who are on the right path.

Tafsir

Allah's mosques are built only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and hope in Allah for their reward. Such people do not pray for show, they do not pray behind anyone hoping to gain something from someone else, nor do they pray under pressure. These people pray with their hearts in their hearts, giving themselves to Allah and hoping for His mercy. They also give out of their wealth for the sake of Allah and pay zakat. They fear no one but Allah. These are the rightly guided ones among mankind and within Islam.

With these behaviors, these people not only improve their world, but also improve their Hereafter and gain the infinite and eternal mercy of Allah.

What is said in the video

Again, verse 18 of Surah At-Tawbah was interpreted wrongly, 19 was interpreted wrongly; let us see what these wrongly interpreted verses are like.

Verse 18: The mosques of Allah are maintained only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer properly, give zakat and fear none but Allah. It is they who are hoped to be among the rightly guided, it says. It is they who are hoped to be rightly guided. You cannot use the word "hoped" for Allah. Until the Day of Judgment there is not a single living being whose doings Allah Almighty does not know. Whereas Allah Almighty's correctly interpreted verse: The mosques of Allah are maintained only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, who properly establish prayer, give zakat and fear none but Allah.

Ta ki, those who have attained the right path are these too. That is, among them there are crooked ones too, but ta ki they, that is, it points. They, well, those who have attained the right path are these too, it says. Ta ki they, among people too. Yes. The mosques of Allah are maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and who hope for their reward only from Allah. Such people do not pray for show. They do not stand to prayer behind anyone hoping for some benefit from others. They do not pray under pressure. These people, giving themselves to Allah wholeheartedly and hoping for Allah's mercy, pray. They give charity from their wealth for Allah, they give zakat, they fear none but Allah.

So among people and within Islam, ta ki, those who have attained the right path are these too. With this conduct these people build up both their world and their hereafter, and attain Allah's infinite and eternal mercy.
