2:142

Salaam all,

This is 2:142
سَيَقُولُ السُّفَهَآءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَا وَلاَّهُمْ عَن قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُواْ عَلَيْهَا قُل للَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
Sayaqoolu alssufahao mina alnnasima wallahum AAan qiblatihimu allatee kanooAAalayha qul lillahi almashriqu waalmaghribuyahdee man yashao ila siratinmustaqeemin

The Aya says:
The light weight (in brain and spirit) of the people will say: What directed them away from the direction they faced (QIBLA)? Say: to the GOD belongs the east and the west. He guides who he desires to a path made straight.

My personal note:
The path made straight is the same Sirat Mustaqeem that is mentioned in the beginning of the Qur’an. This is what we ask GOD to guide us to. In our prayer, we direct ourselves to GOD, as if we are racing horses towards him and that is our QIBLA and we ask for the path made straight, in order to make our path to GOD manageable.
