Y: We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now
Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy
face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your
faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is
the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.
P: We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O
Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a
qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable
Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your
faces (when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the
Scripture know that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And
Allah is not unaware of what they do.

followers of the qiblah of others. And if thou shouldst follow their
desires after the knowledge which hath come unto thee, then surely wert
