Peace Taj and Nabi YOU WERE the best COMMUNITY raised for mankind YOU ENJOIN WHAT IS RIGHT AND FORBID WHAT IS WRONG and YOU BELIEVE IN ALLAH. If only the PEOPLE OF THE BOOK had BELIEVED, it was best for them; AMONG THEM are BELIEVERS but MOST OF THEM are perverted transgressors. 3110 Those who WERE THE BEST COMMUNITY enjoined what is RIGHT and forbid what is WRONG WHO ENJOINED THE RIGHT AND FORBID THE WRONG and who BELIEVED in Allah Not all of them are alike of the PEOPLE OF THE BOOK are a COMMUNITY (UMMAH) that stand (for the right); they rehearse the signs of Allah all night long and then prostrate themselves in adoration. 3113 They BELIEVE IN ALLAH and the Last Day; they ENJOIN WHAT IS RIGHT AND FORBID WHAT IS WRONG and they (hasten in emulation) in (all) good works; they are in the RANKS of the RIGHTEOUS. 3114 IT WAS THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) WHO ENJOINED THE RIGHT AND FORBID THE WRONG AND BELIEVED IN ALLAH. Just TEN verses before, Allah commands the followers of the prophet to ENJOIN WHAT IS RIGHT AND FORBID WHAT IS WRONG And let there be of you a COMMUNITY (UMMAH) inviting to all that is good ENJOINING WHAT IS RIGHT AND FORBIDDING WHAT IS WRONG. And it is they who are the successful. 3104 SO IT WAS THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) THAT WAS THE BEST COMMUNITY SENT FORTH FOR THE MANKIND AND THEY ENJOINED WHAT IS RIGHT AND FORBID WHAT IS WRONG AND THEY BELIEVED IN ALLAH. WHY THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) WERE THE BEST AND NOT ARE THE BEST. WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace of the posterity of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah and of the posterity of Abraham and ISRAEL of those whom We GUIDED and CHOSE; whenever the Signs of (Allah) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears. 1958 But after them there followed a posterity who missed (FAILED TO MEET) the (COMMITMENTS) prayers and followed after lusts soon then will they face Destruction 1959 AFTER THE PASSING AWAY OF THE GUIDED AND THE CHOSEN (CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) THEIR SUCCESSORS FAILED IN THEIR COMMITMENTS AND FOLLOWED THEIR OWN LUST. And REMEMBER ye said "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth its pot-herbs and cucumbers its garlic lentils and onions." He said "will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This, because THEY WENT ON REJECTING THE SIGNS OF ALLAH AND SLAYING HIS MESSENGERS without just cause. This, because they REBELLED and went on transgressing. 261 And REMEMBER We took your COVENANT (to this effect) shed no blood amongst you nor turn out your own people from your homes; and this ye solemnly ratified and to this ye can bear witness. 284 After this it is ye the SAME PEOPLE who SLAY among yourselves and BANISH a party of you from their HOMES; assist (their enemies) against them in guilt and rancor; and if they come to you as captives ye ransom them though it was not lawful for you to banish them. Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in and do ye reject the rest? But what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life? and on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what ye do. 285 THERE ARE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCES IN THE ABOVE VERSES FOR (TAJ) YOU TO KNOW WHY THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (CHILDREN OF ISRAEL) ARE NOT THE BEST Thus have We made you an UMMAH justly balanced that ye might be WITNESSES against the MANKIND and the Apostle a witness over yourselves; and We appointed the Qiblah to which thou wast used only to test those who followed the Apostle from those who would turn on their heels (from the faith). Indeed it was (a change) momentous except to those guided by Allah. And never would Allah make your faith of no effect. For Allah is to all people most surely full of kindness Most Merciful. 2143 The verse is 3110 is ADDRESSED to the BELIEVERS around the prophet and not to all ARABS. How the WHOLE OF ARABS could ever become WITNESSES against ALL MANKIND? IT IS THE BELIEVERS (MUSLIMS) SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD, WHO WILL BE WITNESSES AGAINST ALL MANKIND. Thanks
