وَلَئِنْ أَتَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِكُلِّ ءَايَةٍۢ مَّا تَبِعُوا۟ قِبْلَتَكَ ۚ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِتَابِعٍۢ قِبْلَتَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا بَعْضُهُم بِتَابِعٍۢ قِبْلَةَ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۙ إِنَّكَ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
How to read it
Wa la'in' 'atay'ta -lladhīna 'ūtū l-kitāba bikulli 'āyatin mmā tabiʻū qib'lataka . wamā 'anta bitābiʻin qib'latahum' . wamā baʻ'ḍuhum bitābiʻin qib'lata baʻ'ḍin . wala'ini (i)ttabaʻ'ta 'ah'wā'ahum mmin[m] baʻ'di mā jā'aka mina l-ʻil'mi 'innaka 'idhan llamina ẓẓālimīna
Even if thou wert to bring to the people of the Book all the Signs (together), they would not follow Thy Qibla; nor art thou going to follow their Qibla; nor indeed will they follow each other's Qibla. If thou after the knowledge hath reached thee, Wert to follow their (vain) desires,-then wert thou Indeed (clearly) in the wrong.
