A4
Innate Disposition (Fiṭrah)
Acknowledging the Creator is ingrained in souls
Logical premises
- 1
The human soul is innately disposed to acknowledge its Creator and turn to Him, especially in times of hardship.
- 2
This innate sense is constant across nations and ages; what is so universal points to a firm reality, not an illusion.
Quranic proof
﴿فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ...﴾
Rational conclusion
The fiṭrah is an inner witness to the Creator; whoever returns to his pure innate nature finds acknowledging Him a self-evident necessity needing no proof.
