Al-Baqarah · Ayah 150 · Juz 2 · Page 23

وَمِنۡ حَيۡثُ خَرَجۡتَ فَوَلِّ وَجۡهَكَ شَطۡرَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِۚ وَحَيۡثُ مَا كُنتُمۡ فَوَلُّواْ وُجُوهَكُمۡ شَطۡرَهُۥ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ فَلَا تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِي وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتِي عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ١٥٠

Wa min ḥaythu kharajta fawalli wajhaka shaṭral-masjidil-ḥarām, wa ḥaythu mā kuntum fawallū wujūhakum shaṭrahū liʾallā yakūna lin-nāsi ʿalaykum ḥujjatun illal-ladhīna ẓalamū minhum falā takhshawhum wakhshawnī waliʾutimma niʿmatī ʿalaykum wa laʿallakum tahtadūn.

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,
