Verse (3:110)

The analysis above refers to the 110th verse of chapter 3 (sūrat āl ʿim'rān):

Sahih International: You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. 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.
