144. Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's
SAW) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to
a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn
your face in the direction of Al-Masjid- al-Harâm (at
Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in
prayer) in that direction. Certainly, the people who were given the
Scriptures (i.e. Jews and the Christians) know well that, that
(your turning towards the direction of the Ka'bah at Makkah in
prayers) is the truth from their Lord. And Allâh is not unaware of
what they do.
