Quote:
{9:17} It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of God [while] witnessing against themselves with disbelief. [For] those, their deeds have become worthless, and in the Fire they will abide eternally.

I suggest,
{9:17} It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of God [while] they are bearing witness against themselves to disbelief. Those - their deeds have sunk and in the Fire they are lasting.

Quote:
{9:18} The mosques of God are only to be maintained by those who believe in God and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zakah and do not fear except God, for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided.

I suggest,
{9:18} Verily, the only ones who [may] maintain the mosques of God are those who have believed in God and the Final Day, established prayer, given alms and did not fear but God. Then may those be among the finders of guidance.
