Discussion of the sound fitrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : The fourth one says:
"And the fitrah of the Merciful before the change of man"
The sound fitrah supports sound reason, authentic transmission, and the Qur'an. The sound fitrah, and his saying: "before the change of man", indicates, may Allah have mercy on him, the established hadith from 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 يمجسانه

Sahih al-Bukhari 1385

This, the author says, may Allah have mercy on him, are four interrelated things. What are the four, everyone? The Book, the Sunnah, sound reason, and the fitrah. These are four interrelated things that confirm one another and testify for one another.
