Fitrah. Fitrah berasal dari akar kata f-t-r dalam bahasa Arab yang berarti membuka atau menguak. Fitrah sendiri mempunyai makna asal kejadian, keadaan yang suci dan kembali ke asal. Dari segi bahasa, kata fitrah terambil dari akar kata al-fathr yang berarti belahan, dan dari makna ini lahir makna-makna lain, seperti "penciptaan" dan "kejadian". It translates to 'natural predisposition', the natural nature with which each person is born. You know that feeling you get when you see something immoral? That is because of your natural nature. 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. Allah has chosen certain practices for His Prophets; Muslims are to follow these as well, they are known as Sunan al-Fitrah, or the Muslim's cleanliness obligations. Basically they comprise natural hygiene. They are: 1. Trimming the moustache. The term "fitrah" is derived from the Arabic word "fatara," which means to create or to originate. In Islamic psychology, the concept of fitrah refers to the innate nature of human beings that inclines them towards recognizing and submitting to the existence and oneness of Allah (SWT) and adhering to moral and ethical values. The word Fitrah has various meanings. In the Hadith you mention, Fitrah means such a natural disposition in which is vested the quality of accepting the trust. Thus, if the child had to grow up with no outside influence whatsoever, naturally, the person would turn towards the worship of one Allah. 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. Fitrah and al-Islam. Every child is born into an innate state of purity (fitrah) that facilitates his acceptance of Islam as a religion when he matures. The deen is a conscious choice. The child is only a "Muslim" in the sense that he has not willfully disobeyed Allah (subhana-hu wa ta 'ala) due to the lack of reaching his intellectual 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 Qur'an can be found meaning al-insyiqaq or al-shaqq which means glassware. In addition, fitrah also means al-khalqah al ijad or al-ibda' which means creation. That meaning means that every human being is free from stains, sins, as can be understood from the following verse: يْنَِب ْۢنْمِ َ كُّبرَ َ ذ َ خ َ ا ْ 7513H.
