      Fitra

      /FIT-rah/

      Fitra is the pristine, unblemished blueprint of the human soul, a divine spark instilled at creation that predisposes every individual towards truth, goodness, and recognition of the Divine. It's the inherent moral compass and spiritual intuition, untouched by worldly corruption, that guides one towards an authentic existence. This innate purity suggests that humanity is fundamentally good, capable of discerning right from wrong, and possesses an intrinsic yearning for its Creator, even before external influences shape its path. It is the original state of spiritual and moral soundness from which all deviation is a departure.

      Lit. Innate disposition, natural constitution

      Fitra is a fundamental concept in Islamic theology and philosophy, used to describe the original, uncorrupted nature of humanity. It is often invoked in discussions about creation, divine guidance, and the inherent spiritual potential of individuals.
