(16) CHAPTER. The Statement of Allah: “And even if you were to bring to the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), all the Ayat (Proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) they would not follow your Qiblah (prayer direction)...” (V.2:145)
Narrated Ibn `Umar: While some people were offering morning prayer at Quba' a man came to them and said, A Qur'anic Order has been revealed to Allah's Messenger tonight that he should face the Ka`ba at Mecca (in prayer), so you too should turn your faces towards it. At that moment their faces were towards Sham (i.e. Jerusalem) (and on hearing that) they turned towards the Ka`ba (at Mecca).
