His saying, Exalted is He: {And Allah would not let your faith go to waste. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful. * We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer].}
