Al-Baqarah 2:144 قد نرى تقلب وجهك في السماء فلنولينك قبلة ترضاها فول وجهك شطر المسجد الحرام وحيث ما كنتم فولوا وجوهكم شطره وان الذين اوتوا الكتاب ليعلمون انه الحق من ربهم وما الله بغافل عما يعملون ١٤٤
قَدۡ
نَرَىٰ
تَقَلُّبَ
وَجۡهِكَ
فِي
ٱلسَّمَآءِۖ
فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ
قِبۡلَةٗ
تَرۡضَىٰهَاۚ
فَوَلِّ
وَجۡهَكَ
شَطۡرَ
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
ٱلۡحَرَامِۚ
وَحَيۡثُ
مَا
كُنتُمۡ
فَوَلُّواْ
وُجُوهَكُمۡ
شَطۡرَهُۥۗ
وَإِنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
أُوتُواْ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ
لَيَعۡلَمُونَ
أَنَّهُ
ٱلۡحَقُّ
مِن
رَّبِّهِمۡۗ
وَمَا
ٱللَّهُ
بِغَٰفِلٍ
عَمَّا
يَعۡمَلُونَ

And Allah is never unaware of what they do.
