Beləliklə Biz sizi orta bir ümmət etdik ki, siz insanlara şahid olasınız, peyğəmbər də sizə şahid olsun. Biz, əvvəl üz tutduğun qibləni ancaq ona görə təyin etdik ki, peyğəmbərin ardınca gedənləri üz döndərənlərdən fərqləndirək. Bu, Allahın doğru yola yönəltdiyi şəxslərdən başqa hamısına ağır gəldi. Allah sizin imanınızı puç etməz. Həqiqətən də, Allah insanlara qarşı Şəfqətlidir, Rəhmlidir.

Azerice — V. Memmedeliyev ve Ziya Bünyadov

(Ey müsəlmanlar!) Beləliklə də, sizi (ədalətli və seçilmiş) bir ümmət etdik ki, insanların əməllərinə (qiyamətdə) şahid olasınız, Peyğəmbər də (Muhəmməd əleyhisəllam da) sizə şahid olsun. (Ya Rəsulum!) İndi yönəldiyin qibləni (Kəʼbəni) yalnız Peyğəmbərə tabe olanlarla ondan üz çevirənləri bir-birindən ayırd etmək üçün (qiblə) təʼyin etdik. Bu, (qibləni Beytülmüqəddəsdən Kəʼbəyə tərəf çevirmək) ağır görünsə də, ancaq Allahın doğru yola yönəltdiyi şəxslər üçün ağır deyildir. Allah sizin imanınızı (bundan əvvəl Beytülmüqəddəsə üz tutaraq qıldığınız namazlarınızı) əvəzsiz buraxmaz. Allah insanlara qarşı, əlbəttə, mehribandır, mərhəmətlidir.

Almanca — Al-Azhar

Wir haben euch zu einem gemäßigten, rechtschaffenen Volk gemacht, damit ihr gerecht über die früheren Glaubensrichtungen urteilen könnt. Gottes Gesandter (Muhammad) leitet euch und ist Zeuge eurer Taten. Wir haben die frühere Gebetsrichtung vorgeschrieben, damit Wir die Menschen prüfen, wer dem Gottesgesandten willig folgt und wer sich von ihm abwendet. Das Gebot (gen Jerusalem, Bait-al-maqdis zu beten) war für euch sehr schwer. Nur diejenigen, die Gott rechtgeleitet hat (waren ihm gewachsen). Gott wird euren Glauben nicht unbelohnt lassen, ist doch Gott unendlich gütig und barmherzig.

Almanca — Der Edle Quran

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.

Almanca — M. A. Rassoul

Und so machten Wir euch zu einer Gemeinde der Mitte, auf daß ihr Zeugen seiet über die Menschen und auf daß der Gesandte Zeuge sei über euch. Und Wir haben die Qibla, nach der du dich bisher gerichtet hattest, nur gemacht, damit Wir denjenigen, der dem Gesandten folgt, von demjenigen unterscheiden, der auf seinen Fersen eine Kehrtwendung macht; und dies war wahrlich schwer, außer für diejenigen, die Allah rechtgeleitet hat. Und es ist nicht Allah, Der euren Glauben verloren gehen läßt; wahrlich, Allah ist gegenüber den Menschen Mitleidig, Barmherzig.

Almanca — Muhammad Zaidan

Und solcherart machten WIR euch zu einer gemäßigten Umma, damit ihr Zeugen über die Menschen seid, und der Gesandte über euch Zeuge ist. Und nicht machten WIR die Gebetsrichtung, die du vorher hattest, außer damit WIR kenntlich machen denjenigen, der dem Gesandten folgt, von demjenigen, der sich um seine Fersen wendet. Und es ist gewiß etwas Schwerwiegendes außer für diejenigen, die ALLAH rechtleitete. Und es gebührt ALLAH nicht, daß ER euren Iman (euer rituelles Gebet) verloren gehen läßt. Gewiß, ALLAH ist den Menschen gegenüber zweifelsohne allgütig, allgnädig.

Abdel Khalek Himmat

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.

Abdul Haleem

We have made you [believers] into a just community, so that you may bear witness [to the truth] before others and so that the Messenger may bear witness [to it] before you. We only made the direction the one you used to face [Prophet] in order to distinguish those who follow the Messenger from those who turn on their heels: that test was hard, except for those God has guided. God would never let your faith go to waste [believers], for God is most compassionate and most merciful towards people.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Thus, have We made of you an Ummat justly balanced, that ye might be witnesses over the nations, and the Messenger a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qibla to which thou wast used, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (From the Faith). Indeed it was (A change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah Make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people Most surely full of kindness, Most Merciful.

Abul A'la Maududi

Aisha Bewley

In this way We have made you a middlemost community, so that you may act as witnesses against mankind and the Messenger as a witness against you. We only appointed the direction you used to face in order to distinguish those who follow the Messenger from those who turn round on their heels. Though in truth it is a very hard thing – except for those Allah has guided. Allah would never let your iman go to waste. Allah is All-Gentle, Most Merciful to mankind.

Al-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[1] 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.

Ali Quli Qarai

Thus We have made you a middle nation that you may be witnesses to the people, and that the Apostle may be a witness to you. And We did not appoint the qiblah you were following but that We may ascertain those who follow the Apostle from those who turn back on their heels. It was indeed a hard thing except for those whom Allah has guided. And Allah would not let your prayers go to waste. Indeed Allah is most kind and merciful to mankind.

Amatul Rahman Omar

And thus have We made you a nation exalted and justly balanced so that you may be a guiding example for all mankind (by carrying to them what you have learnt about Islam), and this perfect Messenger (of God) may be a guiding example for you. And We did not make that which you would have to be the Qiblah but that We might distinguish him who follows the Messenger from him who turns upon his heels. And this (change of Qiblah) is indeed a hard (test) except for those whom Allâh has guided aright. It was not Allâh's purpose that your faith and your worship should go in vain. Surely, Allâh is Compassionate and Ever Merciful to the people.

Arthur John Arberry

Thus We appointed you a midmost nation that you might be witnesses to the people, and that the Messenger might be a witness to you; and We did not appoint the direction thou wast facing, except that We might know who followed the Messenger from him who turned on his heels -- though it were a grave thing save for those whom God has guided; but God would never leave your faith to waste - truly, God is All-gentle with the people, All-compassionate.

Bijan Moeinian

I (God) have shown you a way to make you a justly balanced nation so that you may become a frame of references for the entire humanity. As to your frame of reference, you have your Prophet to follow. My commandment to take the direction of Jerusalem for saying your prayer was simply a trial to see who will follow the Prophet and who will disregard him. It was indeed a hard test (for the Arabs not to pray towards Mecca) but of course not for the believers who have been guided by God. Rest assured that God will not let this faith of yours being unnoticed as God is the Most King to the mankind and the Most Forgiving.

E. Henry Palmer

Thus have we made you a middle nation, to be witnesses against men, and that the Apostle may be a witness against you. We have not appointed the qiblah on which thou wert agreed, save that we might know who follows the Apostle from him who turns upon his heels although it is a great thing save to those whom God doth guide. But God will not waste your faith, for verily, God with men is kind and merciful.

Edip-Layth

As such, We have made you a balanced/impartial nation so that you may be witnesses over the people, and that the messenger may be witness over you. We did not make the focal point that you came on except so that we know who follows the messenger from those who will turn on their heels. It was a big deal indeed except for those whom God had guided; God was not to waste your acknowledgement. God is Kind and Compassionate over the people.

George Sale

Thus have we placed you, O Arabians, an intermediate nation, that ye may be witnesses against the rest of mankind, and that the Apostle may be a witness against you. We appointed the Keblah towards which thou didst formerly pray, only that we might know him who followeth the Apostle, from him who turneth back on his heel; though this change seem a great matter, unless unto those whom God hath directed. But God will not render your faith of none effect; for God is gracious and merciful unto man.

Hamid S. Aziz

Thus have We made you a middle (or justly balanced) nation, to be witnesses against men, and that the Apostle may be a witness against you. We have not appointed the Qiblah (direction, focus, goal) which you were used to, save that We might know (test) who follows the Apostle from him who turns upon his heels, although it is a great thing save for those whom Allah does guide. But Allah will not waste your faith, for verily, Allah is to all people full of Kindness, Most Merciful.

Mahmoud Ghali

And thus We have made you a middle nation to be witnesses over mankind, and (for) the Messenger to be a witness over you. And in no way did We make the Qiblah which you had been (facing), except that We should know who closely followed the Messenger from him who turned over on his heels. And decidedly it was indeed a great thing (i.e. Formidable, hard) except for the ones whom Allah has guided, and in no way will Allah indeed waste your belief. Surely Allah is indeed Ever-Compassionate, Ever-Merciful to mankind.

Marmaduke Pickthall

Thus We have appointed you a middle nation, that ye may be witnesses against mankind, and that the messenger may be a witness against you. And We appointed the qiblah which ye formerly observed only that We might know him who followeth the messenger, from him who turneth on his heels. In truth it was a hard (test) save for those whom Allah guided. But it was not Allah's purpose that your faith should be in vain, for Allah is Full of Pity, Merciful toward mankind.

Mohamed Ahmed - Samira

The foolish will now ask and say: "What has made the faithful turn away from the Qiblah towards which they used to pray?" Say: "To God belong the East and the West. He guides who so wills to the path that is straight."

Muhammad Asad

And thus have We willed you to be a community of the middle way, so that [with your lives] you might bear witness to the truth before all mankind, and that the Apostle might bear witness to it before you. And it is only to the end that We might make a clear distinction between those who follow the Apostle and those who turn about on their heels that We have appointed [for this community] the direction of prayer which thou [O Prophet] hast formerly observed: for this was indeed a hard test for all but those whom God has guided aright. But God will surely not lose sight of your faith-for, behold, God is most compassionate towards man, a dispenser of grace.

Mustafa Khattab

And so We have made you ˹believers˺ an upright[1] community so that you may be witnesses over humanity and that the Messenger may be a witness over you. We assigned your former direction of prayer only to distinguish those who would remain faithful to the Messenger from those who would lose faith. It was certainly a difficult test except for those ˹rightly˺ guided by Allah. And Allah would never discount your ˹previous acts of˺ faith. Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity.

Progressive Muslims

And as such, We have made you a balanced nation so that you may be witness over the people, and that the messenger may be witness over you. And We did not make the focal point that you became on except to know who follows the messenger from those who will turn on their heels. It was a great thing indeed except for those whom God had guided; God was not to waste your belief. God is Merciful and Compassionate over the people.

Sahih International

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.

Sam Gerrans

And thus We made you an intermediary community that you might be witnesses to mankind, and that the Messenger might be a witness to you. And We made not the course which thou wast on save that We might know him who follows the Messenger from him who turns on his heels. And it is hard save for those whom God has guided. And God would not cause your faith to be lost; God is towards men kind and merciful.

Shabbir Ahmed

And, thus it is: We have appointed you a middle and just Community that you would be watchers over all mankind and that the Messenger be a witness against you. (It will be your sacred duty to ensure that no people on earth will oppress others). So far as the transformation of the Center of devotion is concerned, it has distinguished between those who succumb to traditional and nationalistic preferences from those who see all mankind as one nation and follow the Messenger. And the Messenger is fulfilling Allah's Command for the Unity of Mankind. In fact it was a hard test except for those who have attained Allah's Guidance. Allah never lets your Faith go in vain. Verily, Allah is Compassionate and Merciful to all mankind.

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Thus have We made of you (believers) a nation of Muslims (followers of faith) justly balanced, that you may be witnesses over the nations, and the Prophet (Muhammad), a witness over yourselves; And We had appointed Qibla (the direction of prayer) to which you were used, only to test those who followed the Prophet (Muhammad) from those who would turn on their heels (from the Faith). indeed it was (a change) momentous, except to those guided by Allah. And Allah would never make your faith ineffective. Most surely, Allah is for the mankind Full of Kindness (Ra'uf), Most Merciful (Raheem).

Taqi Usmani

In the same way We made you a moderate Ummah (community), so that you should be witnesses over the people, and the Messenger a witness to you.And We did not prescribe the Qiblah which you used to observe except to know the one who follows the Messenger as distinct from the one who turns on his heels. It was burdensome indeed, but not on those whom Allah guided. Allah will not allow your faith go to waste. Certainly Allah is very kind, very merciful to the people.

The Monotheist Group

And as such, We have made you a balanced nation so that you may be witness over the people, and that the messenger may be witness over you. And We did not make the focal point that you became on except to distinguish who follows the messenger from those who will turn on their heels. It was a great thing indeed except for those whom God had guided; God was not to waste your belief. God is Merciful and Compassionate over the people.

Fransızca — Muhammad Hamidullah

Et aussi Nous avons fait de vous une communauté de justes pour que vous soyez témoins aux gens, comme le Messager sera témoin à vous. Et Nous nʹavions établi la direction (Qibla) vers laquelle tu te tournais que pour savoir qui suit le Messager (Muhammad) et qui sʹen retourne sur ses talons. Cʹétait un changement difficile, mais pas pour ceux quʹAllah guide. Et ce nʹest pas Allah qui vous fera perdre (la récompense de) votre foi, car Allah, certes est Compatissant et Miséricordieux pour les hommes.

Her wiha me hûn kirin umeteke weset (navinc) da ku hûn li ser mirovan bibin şahid û Pêxember jî li ser we bibe şahid. Me berê te ji wê qîbleya ku tu berê li ser bûyî guherand da ku em bizanin ka kî yê bide pey pêxember û kî yê bi paş ve (li kufrê) bizivire. Çendî ku ev berguherandin (ya ji Qudsê bi bal Ke‘bê ve) giran be jî, lê belê ji bo wan ên ku Xwedê riya rast nîşanî wan daye teqez ne giran e.

Hollandaca — Salomo Keyzer

Zoo hebben wij u geplaatst als een bemiddelend volk, opdat gij getuigen zoudt zijn tusschen de menschen, en dat de apostel een getuigen tegen u zou wezen. Wij hebben de Kebla daarom veranderd, opdat men zou kunnen onderscheiden tusschen hen, welke hem volgen en diegenen welke hem den rug toekeeren. Menigeen hindert dit, doch niet hun die door God worden geleid. Maar God beloont uw geloof; want God is genadig en barmhartig omtrent de menschen.

Hollandaca — Siregar

Zo maakten Wij jullie tot een gematigd volk, opdat jullie getuigen zullen zijn voor de mensen en opdat de Boodschapper (Moehammed) een getuige zal zijn voor jullie. En Wij hebben de Qiblah die jullie gewend waren slechts aangewezen om degenen die de Boodschapper volgen onder degenen die zich op hun hielen omdraaien te beproeven. En zeker, dit (de verandering van de Qiblah) was zwaar, behalve voor degenen die Allah leiding gaf. En Allah is neit zo dat Hij jullie geloof (shalât) verloren zou doen gaan. Voorwaar, Allah is zeker genading, meest harmhartig voor de mensen.

Rusça — Ebu Adel

И также [подобно тому, как Мы изменили направление киблы] Мы сделали вас (о, верующие) общиной средней [самой справедливой и самой лучшей], чтобы вы (в День Суда) были свидетелями относительно людей [свидетелями против прежних общин, что их посланники довели до них послания их Господа] и чтобы (последний) Посланник был свидетелем относительно вас (что он довел до вас ясное послание от Аллаха). И сделали Мы киблу, на которой был ты [Посланник] (прежде) [направление в сторону Иерусалима], только для того, чтобы (потом) Нам узнать [испытать и показать], кто последует за Посланником [подчинится ему и примет вместе с ним новое направление в молитве] от обращающихся вспять [чтобы отличить от тех, кто снова стал неверующим из-за сомнений]. И это – конечно же, трудно [тяжело согласиться с изменением молитвенного направления], за исключением тех, кого наставил Аллах (на верный путь) [которым дал знание и оказал содействие]: и Аллах ведь (вовсе) не таков, чтобы губить вашу веру [Аллах не сделает тщетными те молитвы, которые совершались в направлении Иерусалима]! Поистине, Аллах к людям сострадателен (и) милосерден!

Rusça — Osmanov

И вот Мы создали средь вас такую общину, чтобы вы стали примером для [других] людей, вам же примером был бы Посланник. И Мы учредили [прежнюю] киблу, которой ты держался, только для того, чтобы отличить тех, кто последует за Посланником, от тех, кто отворачивается от него. И это было трудным испытанием, но не для тех, кого Аллах повел правильным путем. Аллах - не тот, кто губит вашу веру, ибо, воистину, Аллах к людям сострадателен и милосерден.

İsveççe — Knut Bernström

Och Vi har gjort er till ett mittens samfund, för att ni skall stå som vittnen mot alla människor och Sändebudet vara vittne mot er. Den böneriktning som du (Muhammad) förut iakttog gav Vi dig enbart för att skilja dem som följer Sändebudet från dem som vänder honom ryggen. Detta har varit en svår (prövning) utom för dem som (i allt) vägleds av Gud. Det är rätt och rimligt att Gud inte låter er tro bli utan belöning; Gud är barmhärtig och ömmar för människorna.
