we have seen your face turned towards the heaven. so we will turn you towards a direction that will satisfy you. so turn your face towards the sacred mosque. and wherever you may be turn your faces towards it. those who were given the book know that it is the truth from their lord and god is not unaware of what they do.
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
