That was grievous upon Rasool-Allah -saww so, Jibraeel -as descended with the holy Verse: We have Seen the turning of your face towards the sky, so We will be Turning you towards a Qiblah you will be pleased with; So turn then your face towards\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2018 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0633\u0652\u062c\u0650\u062f\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u0631\u0627\u0645\u0650 \u2019 the Sacred Masjid (Kabah); and wherever you are, turn your face towards it.
