And it is that the ones who were given the Book, for sure know that it is the truth from their Lord; and not is the One with unawareness over what they are doing.

We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
We certainly see you turning your face about in the sky. We will surely turn you to a qiblah of your liking: so turn your face towards the Holy Mosque, and wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it! Indeed those who were given the Book surely know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not oblivious of what they do. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
We certainly saw you (Muhammad) often turn your face to the sky, so We shall instruct you to face a qibla that you will like. (Muhammad) during prayer, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah). Muslims, also, wherever you are, during your prayers, turn your faces towards the Sacred Mosque. The People of the Book certainly know that this command (to change the qibla) is truly from their Lord. God is not unaware of what they do. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
Indeed We see the turning of your face to heaven, so We shall surely turn you to a qiblah which you shall like; turn then your face towards the Sacred Mosque, and wherever you are, turn your face towards it, and those who have been given the Book most surely know that it is the truth from their Lord; and Allah is not at all heedless of what they do. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
We have frequently seen you turn your face towards heaven. So We will make you turn in a direction for prayer that will please you. So turn your face now towards the Sacred Mosque: and wherever you may be, turn your faces towards it. Those who were given the Book know this to be the truth from their Lord. God is not unaware of what they do. - Wahiduddin Khan

اے رسول ہم آپ کی توجہ کو آسمان کی طرف دیکھ رہے ہیں تو ہم عنقریب آپ کو اس قبلہ کی طرف موڑ دیں گے جسے آپ پسند کرتے ہیں لہٰذا آپ اپنا رخ مسجدالحرام کی جہت کی طرف موڑ دیجئے اور جہاں بھی رہئے اسی طرف رخ کیجئے. اہلِ کتاب خوب جانتے ہیں کہ خدا کی طرف سے یہی برحق ہے اور اللہ ان لوگوں کے اعمال سے غافل نہیں ہے - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
یہ تمہارے منہ کا بار بار آسمان کی طرف اٹھنا ہم دیکھ رہے ہیں لو، ہم اُسی قبلے کی طرف تمہیں پھیرے دیتے ہیں، جسے تم پسند کرتے ہو مسجد حرام کی طرف رُخ پھیر دو اب جہاں کہیں تم ہو، اُسی کی طرف منہ کر کے نماز پڑھا کرو یہ لوگ جںہیں کتاب دی گئی تھی، خو ب جانتے ہیں کہ (تحویل قبلہ کا) یہ حکم ان کے رب ہی کی طرف سے ہے اور بر حق ہے، مگرا س کے باوجود جو کچھ یہ کر رہے ہیں، اللہ اس سے غافل نہیں ہے - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
ہم دیکھ رہے ہیں بار بار تمہارا آسمان کی طرف منہ کرنا تو ضرور ہم تمہیں پھیردیں گے اس قبلہ کی طرف جس میں تمہاری خوشی ہے ابھی اپنا منہ پھیر دو مسجد حرام کی طرف اور اے مسلمانو! تم جہاں کہیں ہو اپنا منہ اسی کی طرف کرو اور وہ جنہیں کتاب ملی ہے ضرور جانتے کہ یہ انکے رب کی طرف سے حق ہے اور اللہ ان کے کوتکوں (اعمال) سے بے خبر نہیں- - Ahmed Raza
⦿
(اے رسول(ص)) تحویل قبلہ کی خاطر) تیرا بار بار آسمان کی طرف منہ کرنا ہم دیکھ رہے ہیں۔ تو ضرور اب ہم تمہیں موڑ دیں گے اس قبلہ کی طرف جو تمہیں پسند ہے۔ بس اپنا رخ مسجد الحرام کی طرف موڑ دیجئے۔ اور (اے اہل ایمان) تم جہاں کہیں بھی ہو اپنے منہ (نماز پڑھتے وقت) اسی طرف کیا کرو۔ جن لوگوں کو (آسمانی) کتاب (تورات وغیرہ) دی گئی ہے وہ بخوبی جانتے ہیں کہ یہ (تحویل قبلہ کا فیصلہ) ان کے پروردگار کی طرف سے ہے اور یہ حق ہے۔ اور جو کچھ (یہ لوگ) کر رہے ہیں اللہ اس سے بے خبر نہیں ہے۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
