Fitra - - Soul's Innate Ability To Recognize Truth

    As-Salaam alaikum,  We read it in verse 30, chapter 30 of the Holy Qur'an where Allah Ta'ala says :--
   "Turn your face towards the religion in pure faith - with
    the Divine Innate nature upon which God originated mankind. 
    There is no altering God's creation. That is the upright religion, 
    but most men know not." (30:30)

  And in the Hadith, we have it where the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said :--

" Human beings are born on fitra, innocence, his parents make him
  either Jewish or Christian or Zoroastrian. "(Muslim)

 As the Soul's Innate capacity or ability to recognize the truth, fitra allows human beings to understand things as they really are. This capacity, however, is sometimes clouded by the human environment. Society's imperfections obscure the Innate capacity and make it difficult for people to live in accordance with their original nature. This is where the function of the Prophets come handy - - remind man of his Creator/Lord and His Right to be worshipped.
