M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

from your Lord, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.

150. And from whatsoever place you come forth, turn your face towards the Sacred Mosque; and wherever you are turn your faces towards it, so that people shall have no accusation against you, except such of them as are unjust; so do not fear them, and fear Me, that I may complete My favour on you and that you may walk on the right course.

151. Even as We have sent among you an Apostle from among you who recites to you Our communications and purifies you and teaches you the Book and the wisdom and teaches you that which you did not know.

152. Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, and be thankful to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me.

153. O you who believe! seek assistance through patience and prayer; surely Allah is with the patient.*

154. And do not speak of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead;** nay, (they are) alive, but you do not perceive.
