Arabic

وَكَذٰلِكَ جَعَلْنٰكُمْ اُمَّةً وَّسَطًا لِّتَكُوْنُوْا شُهَدَاۤءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيْدًا ۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِيْ كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَآ اِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَّتَّبِعُ الرَّسُوْلَ مِمَّنْ يَّنْقَلِبُ عَلٰى عَقِبَيْهِۗ وَاِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَبِيْرَةً اِلَّا عَلَى الَّذِيْنَ هَدَى اللّٰهُ ۗوَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِيْعَ اِيْمَانَكُمْ ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ ۝١٤٣

Transliteration

Wa każālika ja‘alnākum ummataw wasaṭol litakūnū syuhadā-a ‘alan-nāsi wa yakūnar-rosūlu ‘alaikum syahīdā, wa mā ja‘alnal-qiblatal-latī kunta ‘alaihā illā lina‘lama may yattabi‘ur-rosūla mimmay yanqolibu ‘alā ‘aqibaih, wa in kānat lakabīrotan illā ‘alal-lażīna hadallāh, wa mā kānallāhu liyuḍī‘a īmānakum, innallāha bin-nāsi laro'ūfur roḥīm

Meaning

Thus We made you a moderate community, that you may be witnesses to humanity, and that the Messenger may be a witness to you. We only established the direction of prayer, which you once followed, that We may distinguish those who follow the Messenger from those who turn on their heels. It is indeed difficult, except for those whom Allah has guided. But Allah would never let your faith go to waste. Allah is Kind towards the people, Merciful.
