Fiṭra
Fiṭra (Arab.). An important term in Islamic doctrine about humans and their moral constitution as creatures of God's creation. The pivotal passage is Qurʾān 30. 30. Most exegesis takes fiṭra to mean human nature as designed and intended for ‘religion’—understood as Islam. But some take fiṭra to mean Islam itself.
