Answer:
This is what we spoke about, that Allah created the creation on the sound fitrah, then the devils, the devils of mankind and the jinn, came and led them away from their fitrah, meaning they changed their fitrah to the fitrah of atheism, to the fitrah of disbelief, to the fitrah of shirk (associating partners with Allah). So they changed it. Bad upbringing and bad parents, and the educator and the teacher, are the ones who distort the newborn from the fitrah upon which Allah created him. Yes.
