ٱلَّذِينَ (To) those whom alladhīna We gave [them] ātaynāhumu the Book l-kitāba they recognize it yaʿrifūnahu like kamā they recognize yaʿrifūna their sons abnāahum And indeed wa-inna a group farīqan of them min'hum surely they conceal layaktumūna the Truth l-ḥaqa while they wahum know yaʿlamūna
Those to whom We gave the Scripture know him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] as they know their own sons. But indeed, a party of them conceal the truth while they know [it].

The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.

So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muḥammad], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.
وَمِنْ And from wamin wherever ḥaythu you start forth kharajta [so] turn fawalli your face wajhaka (in the) direction shaṭra (of) Al-Masjid l-masjidi Al-Haraam l-ḥarāmi And wherever waḥaythu that mā you (all) are kuntum [so] turn fawallū your faces wujūhakum (in) its direction shaṭrahu so that not li-allā will be yakūna for the people lilnnāsi against you ʿalaykum any argument ḥujjatun except illā those who alladhīna wronged ẓalamū among them min'hum so (do) not falā fear them takhshawhum but fear Me wa-ikh'shawnī And that I complete wali-utimma My favor niʿ'matī upon you ʿalaykum [and] so that you may walaʿallakum (be) guided tahtadūna
And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided,
