al-Baqarah · Verse 144 of 286
قَدۡ نَرَىٰ تَقَلُّبَ وَجۡهِكَ فِی ٱلسَّمَاۤءِۖ فَلَنُوَلِّیَنَّكَ قِبۡلَةࣰ تَرۡضَىٰهَاۚ فَوَلِّ وَجۡهَكَ شَطۡرَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِۚ وَحَیۡثُ مَا كُنتُمۡ فَوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمۡ شَطۡرَهُۥۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ لَیَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمۡۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا یَعۡمَلُونَ ١٤٤

Abdel Haleem:
Many a time We have seen you [Prophet] turn your face towards Heaven, so We are turning you towards a prayer direction that pleases you. Turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces to it. Those who were given the Scripture know with certainty that this is the Truth from their Lord: God is not unaware of what they do
