ONE AYAT A DAY
وَلَىِٕنْ اَتَيْتَ الَّذِيْنَ اُوْتُوا الْكِتٰبَ بِكُلِّ اٰيَةٍ مَّا تَبِعُوْا قِبْلَتَكَ ۚ وَمَآ اَنْتَ بِتَابِعٍ قِبْلَتَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا بَعْضُهُمْ بِتَابِعٍ قِبْلَةَ بَعْضٍۗ وَلَىِٕنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَاۤءَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَاجَاۤءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ ۙ اِنَّكَ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ۘ
Wa la'in ataital-lażīna ūtul-kitāba bikulli āyatim mā tabi‘ū qiblatak(a), wa mā anta bitābi‘in qiblatahum, wa mā ba‘ḍuhum bitābi‘in qiblata ba‘ḍ(in), wa la'inittaba‘ta ahwā'ahum mim ba‘di mā jā'aka minal-‘ilm(i), innaka iżal laminaẓ-ẓālimīn(a).
And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah.

(10:96, 97)This is why Allah said here:وَلَئِنْ أَتَيْتَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَـبَ بِكُلِّ ءَايَةٍ مَّا تَبِعُواْ قِبْلَتَكَ(And even if you were to bring to the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) all the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they would not follow your Qiblah (prayer direction)).Allah's statement:وَمَآ أَنتَ بِتَابِعٍ قِبْلَتَهُمْ(...nor are you going to follow their Qiblah ), indicates the vigor with which Allah's Messenger ﷺ implements what Allah commanded him.
