It is a core belief of the Muslims that messengers and guides were sent to every people throughout history. So I don’t have a problem seeing traces of the truth in every tradition, wherever it emerges. Nor do I have a problem recognising the untruths which have crept into our own. The Quran calls us to witness to the truth even against ourselves. Our path does not call us to tribalism. It merely calls us to guide by truth and establish justice. It is those that do so who are commended, wherever and whoever they may be.
