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.
Then We made you heirs in the land after them, to see how ye would behave!
我这样以你们为中正的民族,以便你们作证世人,而使者作证你们。我以你原来所对的方向为朝向,只为辨别谁是顺从使者的,谁是背叛的。这确是一件难事,但在真主所引导的人,却不难。真主不致使你们的信仰徒劳无酬。真主对於世人,确是至爱的,确是至慈的。
在他们灭亡之后,我以你们成为大地上的代治者,以便我看你们怎样工作。
