oft we have seen the turning of thy face to the heaven wherefore we shall assuredly cause thee to turn towards the qiblah which shall please thee. turn then thy face toward the sacred mosque and turn ye wheresoever ye be your faces toward it. and verily those who are vouchsafed the book know this to be the truth and from their lord. allah is not neglectful of that which they work.
قد نرى تقلب وجهك في السماء فلنولينك قبلة ترضاها فول وجهك شطر المسجد الحرام وحيث ما كنتم فولوا وجوهكم شطره وإن الذين أوتوا الكتاب ليعلمون أنه الحق من ربهم وما الله بغافل عما يعملون
