The foolish among the people will say,
"What has turned them away from their qiblah,
which they used to face?"
Say, "To Allah belongs the east and the west.
He guides whom He wills to a straight path."

QURAN

Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - سورة البقرة 2:142


Allah has made the Kaaba, the sacred house,
a maintenance for the people,
and the sacred month and the offerings
and the sacrificial animals with garlands;
 this is that you may know that Allah knows
whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth,
and that Allah is the Knower of all things.

Surat Al-Mā'idah (The Table Spread) - سورة المائدة5:97

tafsir:

(Allah has made the Ka`bah, the Sacred House, an asylum of security and benefits for mankind,) Allah says, Allah made the Ka`bah
 the Sacred House, an asylum of safety for the people who have no chief to prevent the strong from transgressing against the weak,
the evil from the good-doers, and the oppressors from the oppressed.
(And also the Sacred Month and the animals of offerings and the garlanded.) Allah says that He made
these symbols an asylum of safety for the people, just as He made the Ka`bah an asylum of safety for them,
 so that He distinguishes them from each other, for this is their asylum and symbol for their livelihood and religion.
Allah made the Ka`bah, the Sacred Month, the Hady, the garlanded animals and people an asylum of safety for the Arabs
who used to consider these symbols sacred. Thus, these symbols were just like the chief who is obeyed by his followers,
and who upholds harmony and public safety. As for the Ka`bah, it includes the entire sacred boundary. Allah termed it "Haram''
 because He prohibited hunting its game and cutting its trees or grass. Similarly, the Ka`bah, the Sacred Month,
the animals of offerings and the garlands were the landmarks of existing Arabs. These symbols were sacred during the time
of Jahiliyyah and the people's affairs were guided and protected by them. With Islam they became the symbols of their Hajj, their rituals,
and the direction of the prayer. ﴿i.e., the Ka`bah in Makkah.﴾
(that you may know that Allah has knowledge of all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth,
and that Allah is the All-Knower of each and everything.) Allah says; O people, I made these symbols an asylum for you,
so that you know that He Who made these symbols that benefit your life and provide you with security,
also knows everything in the heavens and earth that brings about your immediate or eventual benefit.
Know that He has perfect knowledge of everything and that none of your deeds or affairs ever escapes His observation; and He will count them for you
so that He rewards those who do good with the same and those who do evil in kind.


And this was the legacy that Abraham
left to his sons, and so did Jacob;
 "Oh my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you;
then die not except in the Faith of Islam."

Quran

Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - سورة البقرة  2:132

tafsir:
(Saying), "O my sons! Allah has chosen for you the (true) religion, then die not except as Muslims.'') meaning, perform righteous deeds during your lifetime and remain on this path, so that Allah will endow you with the favor of dying upon it. Usually, one dies upon the path that he lived on and is resurrected according to what he died on. Allah, the Most Generous, helps those who seek to do good deeds to remain on the righteous path.
