The article focuses on a hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him) which explains that fitrah (pure nature) can discriminate between what is good and what is evil.
The Evidence This is the fitrah at work. Islam teaches us that every child is born upon the fitrah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Every child is born upon the fitrah, but it is the parents who make it a Christian, Jew or Magian," (Sahih Al-Bukhari 1292, Sahih Muslim 2658)
Fitrah: the deen (way or religion) of Allaah. Al-Tabari s tafseer (commentary) of the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): [Iblees said] and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allaah. [al-Nisa 4:119] Concerning the aayah (interpretation of the meaning), So set
This word (fitrah) was also mentioned in the hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurayrah who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Five things are part of the fitrah: removing the pubic hair, circumcision, trimming the moustache, plucking the armpit hairs, and trimming the nails.
