The Quran's Criticism of Exclusivity Mentality

The Quran criticizes the exclusivity mentality adopted by some individuals, including Muslims, who consider themselves superior. This mentality leads to the development of narratives degrading certain groups, such as considering Ishmael illegitimate or his lineage cursed. Some individuals also label non-Jews and even some Jews as uneducated and inferior. This exclusivity extends to fellow believers, judging them and claiming superiority, as seen in the history of Israelites. The Quran warns against following the same path of exclusivity observed in previous communities.
