The Quran mentions four misguided groups: Jews, Christians, disbelievers, and polytheists. Which tribe were they associated with?

Explanation

In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty mentions various misguided groups, including Jews, Christians, disbelievers, and polytheists. These four groups are said to belong to the tribe of "Ilm Majd," which became a subject of warning in the Quran due to their deviation from the truth. These four groups had strayed from the right path in terms of belief and practice.

Good to know

The Holy Quran mentions different nations and groups for the purpose of admonition. The Jews and Christians, despite being People of the Book, committed distortions in their scriptures, while the disbelievers and polytheists denied the oneness of Allah. Ilm Majd was a tribe to which these misguided groups are attributed, and it is a well-known reference in Islamic studies.
