Koran 2:143 — Sure Al-Baqarah, Vers 143

وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَسَطٗا لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ شَهِيدٗاۗ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلۡقِبۡلَةَ ٱلَّتِي كُنتَ عَلَيۡهَآ إِلَّا لِنَعۡلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيۡهِۚ وَإِن كَانَتۡ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَٰنَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ

Und so haben Wir euch zu einer Gemeinschaft der Mitte gemacht, damit ihr Zeugen über die (anderen) Menschen seiet und damit der Gesandte über euch Zeuge sei. Wir hatten die Gebetsrichtung, die du einhieltest, nur bestimmt, um zu wissen, wer dem Gesandten folgt und wer sich auf den Fersen umkehrt. Und es ist wahrlich schwer außer für diejenigen, die Allah rechtgeleitet hat. Aber Allah läßt nicht zu, daß euer Glaube verloren geht. Allah ist zu den Menschen wahrlich Gnädig, Barmherzig.

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

Und Wir hatten die Gebetsrichtung, die du einhieltest, nur bestimmt, um zu wissen, wer dem Gesandten folgt und wer sich auf seinen Fersen umkehrt. Und es ist fürwahr schwer außer für diejenigen, die Allah rechtgeleitet hat. Und nimmer lässt Allah zu, dass euer Glaube verloren geht. Wahrlich, Allah ist zu den Menschen gnadenvoll, (und) barmherzig.
• Hilali & Khan: Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islâmic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a just (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) be a witness over you. And We made the Qiblah (prayer direction towards Jerusalem) which you used to face, only to test those who followed the Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from those who would turn on their heels (i.e. disobey the Messenger). Indeed it was great (heavy) except for those whom Allâh guided. And Allâh would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, Allâh is full of Kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind.
• Rowwad Translation Center (en): Thus We made you a balanced nation, so that you may be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger a witness over you. We did not change your former direction of prayer [to the Ka‘bah] except to distinguish those who would follow the Messenger from those who would turn back on their heels. It was surely burdensome except for those whom Allah guided. Allah would never let your [acts of] faith go to waste, for Allah is Most Gracious and Most Merciful to all people.
