2 versesAl-Baqarah 144
قَدْ نَرٰى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَٓاءِۚ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضٰيهَاۖ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِۜ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۜ وَاِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْكِتَابَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ اَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْۜ وَمَا اللّٰهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ ١٤٤

English Translation
144We certainly see you repeatedly turning your face toward the sky. So We are turning you toward a qibla that will please you. Turn your face toward the Masjid al-Haram! Wherever you may be, turn your faces in that direction too. Those who were given the Book know well that this is the very truth from their Lord. Allah is not unaware of what they do.
