“So from whencesoever you start forth, turn your face in the direction of the sacred Mosque; and wheresoever you are, Turn your face thither: that there be no ground of dispute against you among the people, except those of them that are bent on wickedness; so fear them not, but fear Me; and that I may complete My favours on you, and you may (consent to) be guided;” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Baqarah, 2: 150
