"Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then God sent the prophets as bringers of good tidings and warners and sent down with them the Scripture in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. And none differed over it [i.e., the Scripture] except those who were given it - after the clear proofs came to them - out of jealous animosity among themselves. And God guided those who believed to the truth con- cerning that over which they had dif- fered, by His permission. And God guides whom He wills to a straight path."— Sahih Intl
