Back to Surah Al-Baqara
Ayah 144

Surah Al-Baqara

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.﴿144

Translation

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.

Simplified Tafsir

قد نرى تحوُّل وجهك -أيها الرسول- في جهة السماء، مرة بعد مرة؛ انتظارًا لنزول الوحي إليك في شأن القبلة، فلنصرفنك عن "بيت المقدس" إلى قبلة تحبها وترضاها، وهي وجهة المسجد الحرام بـ "مكة"، فولِّ وجهك إليها. وفي أي مكان كنتم -أيها المسلمون- وأردتم الصلاة فتوجهوا نحو المسجد الحرام. وإن الذين أعطاهم الله علم الكتاب من اليهود والنصارى لَيعلمون أن تحويلك إلى الكعبة هو الحق الثابت في كتبهم. وما الله بغافل عما يعمل هؤلاء المعترضون المشككون، وسيجازيهم على ذلك.
