"What
وَلَّىٰهُمْ
(has) turned them

from
قِبْلَتِهِمُ
their direction of prayer
ٱلَّتِى
which
كَانُوا۟
they were used to
عَلَيْهَا [on it]." قُل Say, لِّلَّهِ "For Allah ٱلْمَشْرِقُ (is) the east وَٱلْمَغْرِبُ and the west. يَهْدِى He guides مَن whom يَشَآءُ He wills إِلَىٰ to صِرَٰطٍ a path
مُّسْتَقِيمٍ straight." وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus جَعَلْنَٰكُمْ We made you أُمَّةً a community وَسَطًا (of the) middle way لِّتَكُونُوا۟ so that you will be
شُهَدَآءَ witnesses عَلَى over ٱلنَّاسِ the mankind, وَيَكُونَ and will be ٱلرَّسُولُ the Messenger عَلَيْكُمْ on you شَهِيدًا a witness. وَمَا And not
جَعَلْنَا We made ٱلْقِبْلَةَ the direction of prayer ٱلَّتِى which كُنتَ you were used to عَلَيْهَآ [on it] إِلَّا except لِنَعْلَمَ that We make evident مَن (he) who يَتَّبِعُ follows ٱلرَّسُولَ the Messenger

هَدَى guided ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah. وَمَا And not كَانَ will ٱللَّهُ Allah لِيُضِيعَ let go waste إِيمَٰنَكُمْ your faith. إِنَّ Indeed, ٱللَّهَ Allah

ٱلْحَرَامِ Al-Haraam وَحَيْثُ and wherever مَا that كُنتُمْ you are فَوَلُّوا۟ [so] turn وُجُوهَكُمْ your faces شَطْرَهُۥ (in) its direction. وَإِنَّ And indeed,
ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَٰبَ the Book لَيَعْلَمُونَ surely know أَنَّهُ that it ٱلْحَقُّ (is) the truth مِن from رَّبِّهِمْ their Lord. وَمَا And not ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah
بِغَٰفِلٍ unaware عَمَّا of what يَعْمَلُونَ they do. وَلَئِنْ And even if أَتَيْتَ you come ٱلَّذِينَ (to) those who أُوتُوا۟ were given ٱلْكِتَٰبَ the Book
بِكُلِّ with all ءَايَةٍ (the) signs, مَّا not تَبِعُوا۟ they would follow قِبْلَتَكَ your direction of prayer, وَمَآ and not أَنتَ (will) you (be) بِتَابِعٍ a follower قِبْلَتَهُمْ (of) their direction of prayer.
وَمَا And not بَعْضُهُم some of them بِتَابِعٍ (are) followers قِبْلَةَ (of the) direction of prayer بَعْضٍ (of each) other. وَلَئِنِ And if ٱتَّبَعْتَ you followed أَهْوَآءَهُم their desires مِّنۢ from
بَعْدِ after مَا [what] جَآءَكَ came to you مِنَ of ٱلْعِلْمِ the knowledge, إِنَّكَ indeed, you إِذًا (would) then لَّمِنَ (be) surely among ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers.
