and o dear prophet wherever you come from turn your face towards the sacred mosque and wherever you may be o muslims turn your faces towards it only so that people may not have an argument against you – except those among them who do injustice therefore do not fear them and fear me and this is in order that i complete my favour upon you and that you may attain guidance. –
ومن حيث خرجت فول وجهك شطر المسجد الحرام وحيث ما كنتم فولوا وجوهكم شطره لئلا يكون للناس عليكم حجة إلا الذين ظلموا منهم فلا تخشوهم واخشوني ولأتم نعمتي عليكم ولعلكم تهتدون
