Umma 3:110

You are the best group brought into existence by way of your choice in the matter of religion. You are obligated to the universal ideas of revelation and you forbid what reason and revelation deny. You have submitted to Allah and you are truthful.

A natural function of a community is that its members assume a share of the responsibility for the material, spiritual, and social wellbeing of the group. This feature can be witnessed to some degree in every species.

The best communities recognize universal standards of intelligence and fairness. They are the best in terms of educating its masses, and commanding what is universally accepted, and forbidding what is ignorant. They are the best at establishing and maintaining family relationships. And they are conscious of Allah.
