Every Child Is Born Upon the Fitrah

✓ Sahih
Sahih al-Bukhari · 1385·Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (RA)

كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ، كَمَثَلِ الْبَهِيمَةِ تُنْتَجُ الْبَهِيمَةَ، هَلْ تَرَى فِيهَا جَدْعَاءَ

Transliteration

Kullu mawludin yuladu 'alal-fitrah, fa-abawahu yuhawwidanihi aw yunassiranihi aw yumajjisanih

Translation

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Every child is born upon the fitrah [natural disposition of Islam], then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian — just as an animal gives birth to a perfect young one: do you see any part of it cut off?"
