Sura 2
Aya 144
144
قَد نَرىٰ تَقَلُّبَ وَجهِكَ فِي السَّماءِ ۖ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبلَةً تَرضاها ۚ فَوَلِّ وَجهَكَ شَطرَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ ۚ وَحَيثُ ما كُنتُم فَوَلّوا وُجوهَكُم شَطرَهُ ۗ وَإِنَّ الَّذينَ أوتُوا الكِتابَ لَيَعلَمونَ أَنَّهُ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّهِم ۗ وَمَا اللَّهُ بِغافِلٍ عَمّا يَعمَلونَ

Many a time have We seen you1 turn your face towards the sky. We will make you turn towards a qiblah that will please you. Turn your face towards the Holy Mosque; wherever you2 be, turn your faces towards it. Those to whom the Scriptures were given know this to be the truth from their Lord. God is never heedless of what they do.
  • Muḥammad.
  • The faithful.
