thus have we made you a community of the golden mean so that you may be witnesses in regard to mankind and the messenger may be a witness in regard to you. we had appointed the former giblah towards which you used to turn your face merely to test who would follow the messenger and who would turn back. it was indeed a hard test but not for those who had been blessed with guidance from allah. allah will not let go to waste this faith of yours rest assured that he is full of pity and mercy for mankind.
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
