You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah - and rebellious against Allah's Command).
Nyinyi mmekuwa bora ya umma walio tolewa watu, kwa kuwa mnaamrisha mema na mnakataza maovu, na mnamuamini Mwenyezi Mungu. Na lau kuwa Watu wa Kitabu nao wameamini ingeli kuwa bora kwao. Wapo miongoni mwao waumini, lakini wengi wao wapotovu.
