we have seen the turning of thy face to heaven . and now verily we shall make thee turn toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. so turn thy face toward the inviolable place of worship and ye wheresoever ye may be turn your faces toward it. lo! those who have received the scripture know that is the truth from their lord. and allah 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
