142.The foolish (285) among the people will say (286): "What has turned them (Muslims) away from their Qibla(287) which they used to face?" Please declare (O Muhammad): "To Allah belongs (288) the east and the west, He guides whom He wills to the Straight Path".

Surah Name : Al-Baqarah   Surah Number : 2   Ayat Number: 142

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَسَطٗا لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ شَهِيدٗاۗ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلۡقِبۡلَةَ ٱلَّتِي كُنتَ عَلَيۡهَآ إِلَّا لِنَعۡلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيۡهِۚ وَإِن كَانَتۡ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَٰنَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٌۭ

143.And thus We made you an exalted (289) community among all the nations that you may be a witness (290) over the people and the Rasool (Messenger) will be a witness over you (291). And (O Beloved) We did not make the Qibla, which you used to face (Baitul Muqaddas) but that We might make evident who would follow the Rasool from who would turn back on his heels. And, surely, it is difficult, except for those whom Allah has guided (292), and never would Allah cause you to lose your faith (293). Surely, Allah is to the people, Most Kind and Merciful (294).

159. Surely, those (335) who conceal (336)what We have sent down as clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people (337) in the Scripture. Upon them is the curse of Allah and the curse of those who curse.

شَهۡرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ هُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَٰتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانِۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهۡرَ فَلۡيَصُمۡهُۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٖ فَعِدَّةٞ مِّنۡ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمُ ٱلۡيُسۡرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلۡعُسۡرَ وَلِتُكۡمِلُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

And (He wants) for you to complete (414) the period and to glorify Allah as He has guided you and (so that) perhaps you may be grateful (415).

213.Mankind was on one religion. Then Allah sent the Prophets (494) as bearers of glad-tidings and warner, and sent down with them a true Scripture (495) to judge between the people in their differences. And none differed over it (Scripture) except those to whom it was given, even after the clear commands (496) were given to them, out of jealousy among themselves (497).

272. (O Holy Prophet) To guide them is not your responsibility (715), but Allah guides whom He pleases (716). And whatever good you spend is for yourselves (717).
