Hey guys although I am a practicing muslim I lean towards perennialist quran based thinking like in the article about the quran's universality by Farhad Shafti. I agree with many of his points however he seems to believe that the bani israel were the chosen people of Allah. Were they the chosen people or could they have been just a strong example of one of potentially multiple such communities entrusted with divine guidance from among their nations?
