The Ruling on the Fitrah of the Jahmiyyah and the Explanation of Its Corruption After Birth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, you mentioned that the Jahmiyyah have a defective fitrah and that their creed is corrupt. Will you not prove to us that every newborn is born with a sound fitrah?

Answer:
Yes, originally they had a sound fitrah, but it was corrupted. It was corrupted after birth, after upbringing, and after adopting a school of thought. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
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 Magianismكُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ
Sahih al-Bukhari 1385
The Jahmiyyah were born on the fitrah, but when the atheists took charge of them, their fitrah was corrupted. And the Exalted and Majestic is He says in the Qudsi Hadith:
I created My servants as Hanif.خلقت عبادي حنفاء
and the devils led them astray. So there is no doubt that the fitrah is originally sound in the Jahmiyyah and others, but it deviated due to the callers to misguidance and the scholars of evil who took charge of their upbringing.
