2:145
وَلَئِنْ
أَتَيْتَ
الَّذِينَ
أُوتُوا
الْكِتَابَ
بِكُلِّ
آيَةٍ
مَّا
تَبِعُوا
قِبْلَتَكَ
وَمَا
أَنتَ
بِتَابِعٍ
قِبْلَتَهُمْ
وَمَا
بَعْضُهُم
بِتَابِعٍ
قِبْلَةَ
بَعْضٍ
وَلَئِنِ
اتَّبَعْتَ
أَهْوَاءَهُم
مِّن
بَعْدِ
مَا
جَاءَكَ
مِنَ
الْعِلْمِ
إِنَّكَ
إِذًا
لَّمِنَ
الظَّالِمِينَ
wa-la-ʾin ʾatayta lladhīna ʾūtū l-kitāba bi-kulli ʾāyatin mā tabiʿū qiblataka wa-mā ʾanta bi-tābiʿin qiblatahum wa-mā baʿḍuhum bi-tābiʿin qiblata baʿḍin wa-la-ʾini ttabaʿta ʾahwāʾahum min baʿdi mā jāʾaka mina l-ʿilmi ʾinnaka ʾidhan la-mina ẓ-ẓālimīna
Even if you were to bring all kinds of authoritative proof to the People of the Book, they still would not accept your qibla, nor would you accept theirs, nor would they accept each others. Were you to follow their desires after all the knowledge that has come to you, you would certainly have been one of the unjust.
