كُنتُمْ You are kuntum (the) best khayra (of) people ummatin raised ukh'rijat for the mankind lilnnāsi enjoining tamurūna the right bil-maʿrūfi and forbidding watanhawna [from] ʿani the wrong l-munkari and believing watu'minūna in Allah bil-lahi And if walaw believed āmana (the) People ahlu (of) the Book l-kitābi surely would have been lakāna good khayran for them lahum Among them min'humu (are) [the] believers l-mu'minūna but most of them wa-aktharuhumu (are) defiantly disobedient l-fāsiqūna
You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allāh. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient.
