As a Catholic, I was led to believe that Catholicism was the only true religion and that Judaism was only a preparation for Christianity. Hence, the other religions were all false. In fact, Ionly heard about Islam for the first time in 1978. I had learned that Muslims believed in the divine origin of Christianity and Judaism. The Qur’an indicates that Allah (the proper name for God in the Arabic language) had sent prophets to every land in order to guide people to the path of truth and righteousness.
