In order to hold the tongues of the critics and oppositions, the verse proceeds on saying: ``The change of QIBLA, was ordered so that the people may not have any reason against you; excepting the oppressors of them'' Had the QIBLA not been changed, the Jews could have reasoned against the Muslims, that they had read in their scriptures, that prayers in two directions would be a sign of the foretold prophet. On the other hand, the pagans too, could object saying: ``Mohammad who claims to revive ABRAHAM'S religion, has firmly adhered to Jerusalem, a Jewish center for QIBLA, leaving the ancient house of God, built by ABRAHAM.'' Of course the oppressors and objectors are found every time, and everywhere, who seek excuses and stick to flimsy pretexts. Such are indeed the oppressors, who oppress themselves, as well as the others! Allah's last favour mentioned in the verse, is to develope the believers and to establish their rituals, and direction of prayer, and also to free them from the confinement of fanaticism and unreasoning zeal about trifles; thus completing HIS favours to the believers who were obedient and feared none but Allah: ``And that I may complete my favours on you, and perhaps you may be guided.''
