This is partly a review of my paper on the chosenness of the Jews, written for the Yaqeen Institute https://shorturl.at/S5tp7. It expands upon the original paper to critique the Biblical doctrine of election as a supremacist ideology. Conversely, the Qur’an’s correction of this Biblical claim elucidates the true meaning of God’s choice of the ancient Israelites. It demonstrates that their selection was a temporary service to humanity, rather than a claim to perpetual ethnic superiority.
