Note:

The first chapter of the quran, there are 7 short verses that Muslims should say before they start praying. It is called chapter [alfatiha] which means the beginning or the opening. The verse 7 mentions about the [cursed ones] and [those that have gone astray].

The interpretation of the word [cursed ones] is the Jews = [Yahoud] and those that gone astray are the Christians [Nasara]. This interpretation is recognized in between muslims and is taught in mosques and in Islamic schhol.

Verse 6 to 7 reads: [ Guide us to the Right Path (6). The path of those upon whom Thou has bestowed favors,

Not of those who Thou has cursed nor of those who have gone astray. (7)]
