150

وَمِنْ مَا لِئَلَّا عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْهُمْ فَلَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ ﴿١٥٠﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. 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.
