Those to whom We gave
the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad SAW or the Ka'bah
at Makkah) as they recongise their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal
the truth while they know it - [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad SAW which are

Al-Masjid-Al-Harâm (at Makkah), and wheresoever you are, turn your faces
towards, it (when you pray) so that men may have no argument against you except
those of them that are wrong-doers, so fear them not, but fear Me! - And so
that I may complete My Blessings on you and that you may be guided. (150) Similarly
(to complete My Blessings on you) We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad
SAW) of your own, reciting to you Our Verses (the Qur'ân) and purifying you,

countless Favours on you) and never be ungrateful to
