Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's SAW) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid- al-Haram (at Makkah). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction. Certainly, the people who were given the Scriptures (i.e. Jews and the Christians) know well that, that (your turning towards the direction of the Ka'bah at Makkah in prayers) is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
われはあなたが（導きを求め），天に顔を巡らすのを見る。そこでわれは，あなたの納得するキブラに，あなたを向かわせる。あなたの顔を聖なるマスジドの方向に向けなさい。あなたがたは何処にいても，あなたがたの顔をキブラに向けなさい。本当に啓典の民は，それが主からの真理であることを知っている。アッラーは，かれらの行うことに無頓着な方ではない。
