The first question of Fatwa number ( 18794 )
Q 1: Is the religion upon which a person is born the true religion?
A 1: Man is born upon the fitrah (the innate natural disposition) of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), as in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 1385 It is agreed upon as authentic from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). However, this fitrah is not sufficient to know the details of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and how to worship Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He); rather, it is necessary to learn and understand the religion, and to follow the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and obey him, for he is the one who conveys from his Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) what the servants need
of the details of their religious affairs and their acts of worship. By this, the Muslim has come to know the worship for which he was created, as mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56] . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
Q 1: Is the religion upon which a person is born the true religion?
A 1: Man is born upon the fitrah (the innate natural disposition) of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), as in the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Every child is born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) and his parents convert him to Judaism or Christianity or Magianism
كل مولود يولد على الفطرة، فأبواه يهودانه أو ينصرانه أو يمجسانهof the details of their religious affairs and their acts of worship. By this, the Muslim has come to know the worship for which he was created, as mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ
