....The
human being is no different.
....Human beings have been created
according to the state of Islam. If they live without Islam, they
will never be fully satisfied emotionally. They may suffer depression
or they may fall victim to drugs, alcohol, gambling, or adultery,
or they may become to attached to the world and become egoistical
and cruel.
....Our beloved Prophet said:
...."No babe is born but with
the Fitrah (as a Muslim). It is his parents who make him a Jew
or a Christian or a Polytheist."
....How do the parents of a baby
born with the Fitrah turn that child into a Jew, a Christian,
or a Polytheist?
....Every child is capable of speech.
A Chinese baby speaks Chinese, an English baby speaks English
, a German baby speaks German, and a baby born in Medina speaks
Arabic. In the same way that the parents and community teach the
baby to speak, they can misdirect babies born with Fitrah toward
non-Islamic beliefs.
....However, there are crucial emotional
and spiritual differences between language and religion:
....Allah Almighty, the All-Powerful
and the Infinite, has granted human beings with a mind and a heart.
The mind and heart do not struggle against which language is spoken,
yet they can struggle against unfounded beliefs; they react and
try to redirect towards the Islamic nature. .
