-The '''Qibla Verse''' (Arabic: {{ia|آیَة القِبلَة}}) is the verse number 144 of [[Sura al-Baqara]] in the [[Qur'an]] which commands Muslims to [[Qibla Changing|change their Qibla]] from [[Jerusalem]] to [[Masjid al-Haram]]. After the [[Hijra|migration]] of Muslims to [[Medina]], Jewish residents of the city took the direction of Muslims towards Jerusalem to be evidence that [[Islam]] was not an authentic religion. This led the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] to wish that the [[Ka'ba]] were the [[Qibla]] for Muslims.
