البقرة — Al-Baqarah Ayat 143
وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنٰكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّسَطًا لِّتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَاۤءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيْدًا ۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِيْ كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَآ اِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَّتَّبِعُ الرَّسُوْلَ مِمَّنْ يَّنْقَلِبُ عَلٰى عَقِبَيْهِۗ وَاِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَبِيْرَةً اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ هَدَى اللّٰهُ ۗوَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِيْعَ اِيْمَانَكُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ
Wa każālika ja‘alnākum ummataw wasaṭal litakūnū syuhadā'a ‘alan-nāsi wa yakūnar-rasūlu ‘alaikum syahīdā(n), wa mā ja‘alnal-qiblatal-latī kunta ‘alaihā illā lina‘lama may yattabi‘ur-rasūla mimmay yanqalibu ‘alā ‘aqibaih(i), wa in kānat lakabīratan illā ‘alal-lażīna hadallāh(u), wa mā kānallāhu liyuḍī‘a īmānakum, innallāha bin-nāsi lara'ūfur raḥīm(un).
"And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful."
