Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
We observe you turning your face, several times towards heaven (O dear Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him); so We will definitely make you turn (for prayer) towards a qiblah which pleases you; therefore now turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque (in Mecca); and O Muslims, wherever you may be, turn your faces (for prayer) towards it only; and those who have received the Book surely know that this is the truth from their Lord; and Allah is not unaware of their deeds. (Allah seeks to please the Holy Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him.)
Yusuf Ali:
We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens:
now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy
face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your
faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is the
truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.
Pickthal:
We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance,
O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a
qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place
of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces
(when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know
that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not
unaware of what they do.
