The Majestic Quran

The Messenger just as they recognise their sons, yet a group of them deliberately tries to hide the truth. 147 The truth has come from your Lord. Listener, don’t be among those who have doubts about it . E 148 Everyone has a direction to which they turn, so compete in doing good works. Wherever you happen to be, God will bring you together. God has power over everything. 149 By whichever direction you go out of Madinah, turn to face the Sacred Mosque in prayer ; that is the truth from your Lord, and God is not unaware of what you do. 150 In whichever direction you go always turn to face the Sacred Mosque. All of you, wherever you are, always turn your faces towards it, so that people do not have any evidence of disunity against you except, of course , the wrongdoers among them. Don’t be afraid of them, but fear Me, so I will complete My favours on you, and ensure you are guided. T T M r 151 For example, We sent to you a noble Messenger from amongst you; he recites Our verses for you, purifies you, teaches you the Book and wisdom, and teaches you what you didn’t know. 152 So, remember Me, and I shall remember you. Be thankful to Me, and don’t be unthankful to Me. P : C ’ 153 Believers, find strength through patience and prayer – God is with those who are patient. 154 Don’t speak irreverently of those who were killed fighting in God’s way, that they are “dead”; rather, they are living, though you don’t sense it . 155 We will certainly test you: with fear, hunger, loss of wealth, health and harvests. Give good news to the patient 156 and who, when they are struck by misfortune, softly say: “We belong to God and are returning to Him”. 157 These are the ones who shall be blessed and will be taken care of by their Lord; they are the guided. A H ’ 158 The hills of Safa and Marwa are Symbols of God ; 31 whoever comes to God’s House to perform the Hajj or Umrah, let him know that there is no objection in walking between them. Whoever works voluntarily will be rewarded by God, the Knower of all things. G ’
