well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.

145. 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.
146. Allatheena ataynahumu alkitaba yaAArifoonahu kama yaAArifoona abnaahum wa-
inna fareeqan minhum layaktumoona alhaqqa wahum yaAAlamoon

146. The people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them
conceal the truth which they themselves know.
