Chapter 2, Page 23, Juz 2

144. Many a time We have seen you [Prophet] turn your face towards Heaven, so We are turning you towards a prayer direction that pleases you. Turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces to it. Those who were given the Scripture know with certainty that this is the Truth from their Lord: God is not unaware of what they do. 145. Yet even if you brought every proof to those who were given the Scripture, they would not follow your prayer direction, nor will you follow theirs, nor indeed will any of them follow one another’s direction. If you [Prophet] were to follow their desires, after the knowledge brought to you, you would be doing wrong. 146. Those We gave Scripture know it as well as they know their own sons, but some of them hide the truth that they know. 147. The truth is from your Lord, so do not be one of those who doubt.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
