وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلۡنَٰكُمۡ أُمَّةٗ وَسَطٗا لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ شَهِيدٗاۗ وَمَا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلۡقِبۡلَةَ ٱلَّتِي كُنتَ عَلَيۡهَآ إِلَّا لِنَعۡلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيۡهِۚ وَإِن كَانَتۡ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَٰنَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٞ رَّحِيمٞ
And thus We have made you a median [i.e., just] community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels.52 And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allāh has guided. And never would Allāh have caused you to lose your faith [i.e., your previous prayers]. Indeed Allāh is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.

Tafsir · 2:143
Al-Mukhtasar
Just as We made a direction of prayer that We approved of for you, we made you the finest, most just and balanced nation among all other nations in matters of belief, acts of worship, and dealings. This is so that you may be witnesses for the messengers of Allah on the Day of Resurrection, to confirm that they delivered the messages Allah instructed them to deliver to their people, and so that the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم will also witness that he delivered the message he was sent to deliver to you. We [Allah] did not change the direction of prayer that you used to face (Jerusalem) except to reveal---and recompense---who was content with Allah had decreed and submitted to it by following the Messenger; to reveal who would renounce their religion to follow their own desires and not submit to what Allah had decreed. The change of the first direction of prayer was a significant issue, except for those to whom Allah granted faith that whatever He decrees for His slaves has profound, far-reaching wisdom behind it. Allah will not make you lose your faith in Him or the prayers you prayed before the change in prayer direction. Allah is kind and compassionate with people; He does not overburden them or cause the rewards of their good deeds to go to waste.
