143 Thus We made you a moderatecommunity, that you may bewitnesses to humanity, and that theMessenger may be a witness to you.We only established the direction ofprayer, which you once followed,that We may distinguish those whofollow the Messenger from thosewho turn on their heels. It is indeeddifficult, except for those whom Allahhas guided. But Allah would neverlet your faith go to waste. Allah isKind towards the people, Merciful.ى ف َكِ ١٤٤

144 We have seen your face turnedtowards the heaven. So We will turnyou towards a direction that willsatisfy you. So turn your facetowards the Sacred Mosque. Andwherever you may be, turn yourfaces towards it. Those who weregiven the Book know that it is theTruth from their Lord; and Allah isnot unaware of what they do.تَ ١٤٥

145 Even if you were to bring to thosewho were given the Book everyproof, they would not follow yourdirection, nor are you to follow theirdirection, nor do they follow thedirection of one another. And if youwere to follow their desires, after theknowledge that has come to you,you would be in that case one of thewrongdoers.
