Surah Al Baqara Ayat 145
The Heifer · English translation · Edition God
Even if you were to bring to those who were given the Book every proof, they would not follow your direction, nor are you to follow their direction, nor do they follow the direction of one another. And if you were to follow their desires, after the knowledge that has come to you, you would be in that case one of the wrongdoers.

Surah Al Baqara Ayat 143
Thus We made you a moderate community, that you may be witnesses to humanity, and that the Messenger may be a witness to you. We only established the direction of prayer, which you once followed, that We may distinguish those who follow the Messenger from those who turn on their heels. It is indeed difficult, except for those whom God has guided. But God would never let your faith go to waste. God is Kind towards the people, Merciful.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 144
We have seen your face turned towards the heaven. So We will turn you towards a direction that will satisfy you. So turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque. And wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it. Those who were given the Book know that it is the Truth from their Lord; and God is not unaware of what they do.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 146
Those to whom We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize their own children. But some of them conceal the truth while they know.
Surah Al Baqara Ayat 147
The truth is from your Lord, so do not be a skeptic.
