They're literally called the Covenant, the existential threat is the Flood, and the giant life preservation vessel is called the Ark. They're not space Muslims. You're picking the wrong Abrahamic religion.

And when the questions roll in, we use that knowledge to our advantage and we can keep posing like nothing even happened...
