You are the best community raised for humanity. You enjoin that which is recognised (as good) and forbid that which is not recognised (as good) and you believe in Allah; and had the owners of the book (too) believed, it would have been better for them, among them there are believers, but most of them are transgressors.
“The purpose of raising the Muslim community is that they should invite the whole mankind towards Islam. To do this they have to exhibit an exemplary character – that of Prophet Muhammed (PBH). Details of the character of the Owners of the book are given.”
