|  وكذلك جعلناكم أمة وسطا لتكونوا شهداء على الناس ويكون الرسول عليكم شهيدا وما جعلنا القبلة التي كنت عليها إلا لنعلم من يتبع الرسول ممن ينقلب على عقبيه وإن كانت لكبيرة إلا على الذين هدى الله وما كان الله ليضيع إيمانكم إن الله بالناس لرءوف رحيم
وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِي كُنتَ عَلَيْهَا إِلاَّ لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَإِن كَانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلاَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ هَدَى اللّهُ وَمَا كَانَ اللّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ |
| Words | |وكذلك - And thus| جعلناكم - We made you| أمة - a community| وسطا - (of the) middle way| لتكونوا - so that you will be| شهداء - witnesses| على - over| الناس - the mankind,| ويكون - and will be| الرسول - the Messenger| عليكم - on you| شهيدا - a witness.| وما - And not| جعلنا - We made| القبلة - the direction of prayer| التي - which| كنت - you were used to| عليها - [on it]| إلا - except| لنعلم - that We make evident| من - (he) who| يتبع - follows| الرسول - the Messenger| ممن - from (he) who| ينقلب - turns back| على - on| عقبيه - his heels.| وإن - And indeed,| كانت - it was| لكبيرة - certainly a great (test)| إلا - except| على - for| الذين - those whom| هدى - guided| الله - (by) Allah.| وما - And not| كان - will| الله - Allah| ليضيع - let go waste| إيمانكم - your faith.| إن - Indeed,| الله - Allah| بالناس - (is) to [the] mankind| لرءوف - Full of Kindness,| رحيم - Most Merciful.| |

| እንደዚሁም (እንደመራናችሁ) በሰዎች ላይ መስካሪዎች ልትሆኑና መልክተኛውም በናንተ ላይ መስካሪ ይሆን ዘንድ ምርጥ ሕዝቦች አደረግናችሁ፡፡ ያችንም በርሷ ላይ የነበርክባትን አቅጣጫ መልክተኛውን የሚከተለውን ሰው ወደ ክህደት ከሚመለሰው ሰው ልናውቅ (ልንገልጽ) እንጅ ቂብላ አላደረግናትም፡፡ እርሷም በነዚያ አላህ በመራቸው ሰዎች ላይ በስተቀር በእርግጥ ከባድ ናት፡፡ አላህም እምነታችሁን (ስግደታችሁን) የሚያጠፋ አይደለም፤ አላህ ለሰዎች በጣም ርኅሩኅ አዛኝ ነውና፡፡ |
| آل الجلالين | { وكذلك } كما هديناكم إليه { جعلناكم } يا أمة محمد { أمة وسطا } خيارا عدولا { لتكونوا شهداء على الناس } يوم القيامة أنَّ رسلهم بلَّغتهم { ويكون الرسول عليكم شهيدا } أنه بلغكم { وما جعلنا } صيرنا { القبلة } لك الآن الجهة { التي كنت عليها } أولا وهي الكعبة وكان يصلى إليها فلما هاجر أمر باستقبال بيت المقدس تألُّفا لليهود فصلى إليه ستة أو سبعة عشر شهرا ثم حول { إلا لنعلم } علم ظهور { من يتبع الرسول } فيصدقه { ممن ينقلب على عقبيه } أي يرجع إلى الكفر شكا في الدين وظنا أن النبي في حيرة من أمره وقد ارتد لذلك جماعة { وإن } مخففة من الثقيلة واسمها محذوف أي وإنها { كانت } أي التولية إليها { لكبيرة } شاقة على الناس { إلا على الذين هدى الله } منهم { وما كان الله ليضيع إيمانكم } أي صلاتكم إلى بيت المقدس بل يثيبكم عليه لأن سبب نزولها السؤال عمن مات قبل التحويل { إن الله بالناس } المؤمنين { لرؤوف رحيم } في عدم إضاعة أعمالهم، والرأفةُ شدة الرحمة وقدَّم الأبلغ للفاصلة . |

| মুহিউদ্দীন খান | এমনিভাবে আমি তোমাদেরকে মধ্যপন্থী সম্প্রদায় করেছি যাতে করে তোমরা সাক্ষ্যদাতা হও মানবমন্ডলীর জন্যে এবং যাতে রসূল সাক্ষ্যদাতা হন তোমাদের জন্য। আপনি যে কেবলার উপর ছিলেন, তাকে আমি এজন্যই কেবলা করেছিলাম, যাতে একথা প্রতীয়মান হয় যে, কে রসূলের অনুসারী থাকে আর কে পিঠটান দেয়। নিশ্চিতই এটা কঠোরতর বিষয়, কিন্তু তাদের জন্যে নয়, যাদেরকে আল্লাহ পথপ্রদর্শন করেছেন। আল্লাহ এমন নন যে, তোমাদের ঈমান নষ্ট করে দেবেন। নিশ্চয়ই আল্লাহ, মানুষের প্রতি অত্যন্ত স্নেহশীল, করুনাময়। |
| Literal | And like that We made you a moderate/reasonable nation to be witnesses on the people, and the messenger be (a) witness on you, and We did not make the (prayer) direction that you were on it, except to know who follows the messenger from who returns on his two heels , and that truly (was) big/great (E) except on those who God guided, and God was not to waste your faith/belief, that God (is) with the people merciful/compassionate (E) , most merciful . |
| 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. |
| Pickthal | 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. |
| 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. |
| Shakir | And thus We have made you a medium (just) nation that you may be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) the Messenger may be a bearer of witness to 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 back upon his heels, and this was surely hard except for those whom Allah has guided aright; and Allah was not going to make your faith to be fruitless; most surely Allah is Affectionate, Merciful to the people. |
| Sarwar | We have made you (true Muslims) a moderate nation so that you could be an example for all people and the Prophet an example for you. The direction which you had been facing during your prayers (the qibla) was only made in order that We would know who would follow the Messenger and who would turn away. It was a hard test but not for those to whom God has given guidance. God did not want to make your previous prayers worthless; God is Compassionate and All-merciful. |
| H/K/Saheeh | 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. |
| Malik | We have made you a moderate Ummah (nation) so that you may testify against mankind and that your own Messenger may testify against you. We decreed your former Qiblah only to distinguish those who are the real followers of the Messenger from those who would back away from the faith. It was indeed a hard test except for those whom Allah has guided. Allah wants not to make your faith fruitless. Allah is Compassionate and Merciful to mankind.[143] |
| Maulana Ali** | And thus We have made you an exalted nation that you may be the bearers of witness to the people and (that) the Messenger may be a bearer of witness to you. And We did not make that which thou wouldst have to be the qiblah but that We might distinguish him who follows the Messenger from him who turns back upon his heels. And it was indeed a hard test except for those whom Allah has guided. Nor was Allah going to make your faith to be fruitless. Surely Allah is Compassionate, Merciful, to the people. |
| Free Minds | 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. |
| Qaribullah | And so We have made you a median nation, in order that you will be a witness above the people, and that the Messenger be a witness above you. We did not change the direction that you were facing except that We might know who followed the Messenger from him who turned on both his heels. Though it was a hardship except for those whom Allah has guided. But Allah would never waste your faith. Indeed, Allah is Gentle with people, the Most Merciful. |
| 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. |
| JM Rodwell | Thus have we made you a central people, that ye may be witnesses in regard to mankind, and that the apostle may be a witness in regard to you. We appointed the kebla which thou formerly hadst, only that we might know him who followeth the apostle, from him |
| 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. |
| Khalifa** | We thus made you an impartial community, that you may serve as witnesses among the people, and the messenger serves as a witness among you. We changed the direction of your original Qiblah only to distinguish those among you who readily follow the messenger from those who would turn back on their heels. It was a difficult test, but not for those who are guided by GOD. GOD never puts your worship to waste. GOD is Compassionate towards the people, Most Merciful. |
| Hilali/Khan** | Thus We have made you (true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways)), a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) 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 SAW) from those who would turn on their heels (i.e. disobey the Messenger). Indeed it was great (heavy) except for those whom Allah guided. And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, Allah is full of kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind. |
| QXP Shabbir Ahemd** | 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. |
| Siten Me olemme tehnyt teidät (arabialaiset) välittäjäkansaksi, että te olisitte todistajia ihmisten edessä ja profeetta Muhammed olisi todistajana teidän edessänne. Kiblan, johon te ennen suuntauduitte, määräsimme ainoastaan erottaaksemme sen, joka seuraa profeettaa, siitä, joka peräytyy hänen luotaan takaisin. ja se oli totisesti vaikea koetus, paitsi niille, joita Jumala johtaa; mutta Jumalan tarkoitus ei ollut tehdä uskoanne turhaksi, sillä Jumala on totisesti lempeä ja laupias ihmisiä kohtaan. |
| Na lagid oto a biyaloy Ami skano a pagtaw a pizokodan, ka ang kano mabaloy a manga saksi ko manga manosiya, go mabaloy so sogo a saksi rkano; na da a inibaloy Ami ko kiblat a so pithaknaan ka skaniyan, inonta na an Ami mapnto so magonot ko sogo ko taw a pmbazowi ko kakakapiri ron. Na mataan aya a miyabaloy a tonganay a margn, inonta bo ko siran a tiyoro o Allah. Na da ko Allah i ba Niyan ilanga so paratiyaya niyo. Ka mataan! a so Allah na tanto a Malai-gagaw ko manga manosiya, a Makalimoon. |
| Ahmed Raza Khan | اور بات یوں ہی ہے کہ ہم نے تمہیں کیا سب امتوں میں افضل، کہ تم لوگوں پر گواہ ہو اور یہ رسول تمہارے نگہبان و گواہ اور اے محبوب! تم پہلے جس قبلہ پر تھے ہم نے وہ اسی لئے مقرر کیا تھا کہ دیکھیں کون رسول کی پیروی کرتا ہے اور کون الٹے پاؤں پھر جاتا ہے۔ اور بیشک یہ بھاری تھی مگر ان پر، جنہیں اللہ نے ہدایت کی اور اللہ کی شان نہیں کہ تمہارا ایمان اکارت کرے بیشک اللہ آدمیوں پر بہت مہربان، رحم والا ہے۔ |
| Shabbir Ahmed | اور اس طرح بنادیا ہے ہم نے تم کو ایک اُمّتِ مُعتدل تاکہ بنو تم گواہ لوگوں پر اور ہو رسول تم پر گواہی دینے والا اور نہیں مقرر کیا تھا ہم نے وہ قبلہ کہ تھے تم (پہلے) جس پر مگر اس غرض سے کہ دیکھیں ہم کہ کون پیروی کرتا ہے رسول کی اور کون پھرجاتا ہے اپنے الٹے پاؤں۔ اور بے شک تھا یہ (قبلہ بدلنا) بہت گراں سوائے ان لوگوں کے جنہیں ہدایت دی اللہ نے۔ اور نہیں ہے اللہ ایسا کہ ضائع کر دے تمہارا ایمان۔ بیشک اللہ انسانوں پر بہت ہی شفیق اور رحم کرنے والا ہے۔ |
| Fateh Muhammad Jalandhary | اور اسی طرح ہم نے تم کو امتِ معتدل بنایا ہے، تاکہ تم لوگوں پر گواہ بنو اور پیغمبر (آخرالزماں) تم پر گواہ بنیں۔ اور جس قبلے پر تم (پہلے) تھے، اس کو ہم نے اس لیے مقرر کیا تھا کہ معلوم کریں، کون (ہمارے) پیغمبر کا تابع رہتا ہے، اور کون الٹے پاؤں پھر جاتا ہے۔ اور یہ بات (یعنی تحویل قبلہ لوگوں کو) گراں معلوم ہوئی، مگر جن کو خدا نے ہدایت بخشی (وہ اسے گراں نہیں سمجھتے) اور خدا ایسا نہیں کہ تمہارے ایمان کو یونہی کھو دے۔ خدا تو لوگوں پر بڑا مہربان (اور) صاحبِ رحمت ہے |
| Mehmood Al Hassan | اور اسی طرح کیا ہم نے تم کو امت معتدل تاکہ ہو تم گواہ لوگوں پر اور ہو رسول تم پر گواہی دینے والا اور نہیں مقرر کیا تھا ہم نے وہ قبلہ کہ جس پر تو پہلے تھا مگر اس واسطے کہ معلوم کریں کون تابع رہے گا رسول کا اور کون پھر جائے گا الٹے پاؤں اور بیشک |
| Abul Ala Maududi | اور اِسی طرح تو ہم نے تمہیں ایک "امت وسط" بنایا ہے تاکہ تم دنیا کے لوگوں پر گواہ ہو اور رسول تم پر گواہ ہو پہلے جس طرف تم رخ کرتے تھے، اس کو تو ہم نے صرف یہ دیکھنے کے لیے قبلہ مقرر کیا تھا کہ کون رسول کی پیروی کرتا ہے اور کون الٹا پھر جاتا ہے یہ معاملہ تھا تو بڑا سخت، مگر اُن لوگوں کے لیے کچھ بھی سخت نہ ثابت ہوا، جو اللہ کی ہدایت سے فیض یاب تھے اللہ تمہارے اس ایمان کو ہرگز ضائع نہ کرے گا، یقین جانو کہ وہ لوگوں کے حق میں نہایت شفیق و رحیم ہے |
| Ahmed Ali | اور اسی طرح ہم نے تمہیں برگزیدہ امت بنایا تاکہ تم اور لوگوں پر گواہ ہو اور رسول تم پر گواہ ہو اور ہم نے وہ قبلہ نہیں بنایا تھا جس پر آپ پہلے تھے مگر اس لیے کہ ہم معلوم کریں اس کو جو رسول کی پیروی کرتا ہے اس سے جو الٹے پاؤں پھر جاتا ہےاور بے شک یہ بات بھاری ہے سوائے ان کے جنہیں الله نے ہدایت دی اور الله تمہارے ایمان کو ضائع نہیں کرے گا بے شک الله لوگوں پر بڑا مہربان نہایت رحم والا ہے |
