3:110
كُنتُمْ
خَيْرَ
أُمَّةٍ
أُخْرِجَتْ
لِلنَّاسِ
تَأْمُرُونَ
بِالْمَعْرُوفِ
وَتَنْهَوْنَ
عَنِ
الْمُنكَرِ
وَتُؤْمِنُونَ
بِاللَّهِ
وَلَوْ
آمَنَ
أَهْلُ
الْكِتَابِ
لَكَانَ
خَيْرًا
لَّهُم
مِّنْهُمُ
الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ
الْفَاسِقُونَ

You are the best nation that ever existed among humanity. You command people to good and prohibit them from evil, and you believe in God. Had the People of the Book accepted the faith (Islam), it would certainly have been better for them. Some of them have faith, but most of them are evil doers.
