وَمِنْ
حَيْثُ
خَرَجْتَ
فَوَلِّ
وَجْهَكَ
شَطْرَ
الْمَسْجِدِ
الْحَرَامِ
وَحَيْثُ
مَا
كُنتُمْ
فَوَلُّوا
وُجُوهَكُمْ
شَطْرَهُ
لِئَلَّا
يَكُونَ
لِلنَّاسِ
عَلَيْكُمْ
حُجَّةٌ
إِلَّا
الَّذِينَ
ظَلَمُوا
مِنْهُمْ
فَلَا
تَخْشَوْهُمْ
وَاخْشَوْنِي
وَلِأُتِمَّ
نِعْمَتِي
عَلَيْكُمْ
وَلَعَلَّكُمْ
تَهْتَدُونَ

(Muhammad) wherever you go, turn your face to the Sacred Mosque and Muslims, wherever you are, turn your faces in the same direction so that no group of people, except the unjust among them, would have any reason against you and so that I may establish My commandments for your people to have proper guidance. (The unjust may criticize you) but do not fear them, fear only Me.
