and thus we have made you a medium nation that you may be the bearers of witness to the people and the apostle may be a bearer of witness to you and we did not make that which you would have to be the qiblah but that we might distinguish him who follows the apostle from him who turns back upon his heels and this was surely hard except for those whom allah has guided aright and allah was not going to make your faith to be fruitless most surely allah is affectionate merciful to the people.
وكذلك جعلناكم أمة وسطا لتكونوا شهداء على الناس ويكون الرسول عليكم شهيدا وما جعلنا القبلة التي كنت عليها إلا لنعلم من يتبع الرسول ممن ينقلب على عقبيه وإن كانت لكبيرة إلا على الذين هدى الله وما كان الله ليضيع إيمانكم إن الله بالناس لرءوف رحيم
