2. Bakara Suresi 143. ayet Abdel Khalek Himmat Al- Muntakhab

Thus We made an ‘Umma (nation) of you Muslims with balanced reason so that you be witnesses of peoples’ actions characterizing their rival systems. The Prophet would be a witness of your actions, and your deeds are a witness of your worth. We initially established AL-Quds as the Kiblah toward which you, Muhammad, turned in prayer distinguishing those who obey the Prophet and exposing the disobedient who turn on their heels, reversing their position. This was hard on those with the rich legacy of Ibrahim before them but they bowed to Providence as their guide. Allah was not going to annul your religious and spiritual virtues, for Allah displays kindness to those who serve Him and those who do not: His mercy is extended to all.

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ اُمَّةً وَسَطاً لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَٓاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَه۪يداًۜ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّت۪ي كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَٓا اِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَتَّبِـعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلٰى عَقِبَيْهِۜ وَاِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَب۪يرَةً اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذ۪ينَ هَدَى اللّٰهُۜ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُض۪يعَ ا۪يمَانَكُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُ۫فٌ رَح۪يمٌ
