The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Every newborn is born upon the origination (fitra) of Allah, meaning [born] with inner knowledge that affirms that Allah is his Creator and this is the meaning of His words, “If you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth? they will surely say, ‘Allah.”
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : كُلُّ مَوْلودٍ يُولَدُ على الفِطرَةِ ، يَعني على المَعْرِفَةِ بأنّ اللّهَ عزّوجلّ خالِقُهُ ، فذلكَ قَولُهُ : «ولَئنْ سَألْتَهُم مَن خَلَقَ السّماواتِ والأرضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللّهُ»
