Fitra According to the Quran, the original state in which humans are created by God. In the Quran, God is called Fatir, that is, creator of heaven and earth, and the verb fatara is also used to mean "to create." However, the commonly accepted meaning of the word derives from the traditions of Muhammad, according to which God creates children according to fitra.

and what is that original state? you mean an embryo or a new born baby? what state are you talking about?
ANd what about the knowledge? what divine knowledge do you refer too?
MAY PEACE BE UPON YOUR SOUL, HEART, MIND, AND BODY...AMEN.
Well, to start with brother Nabeel, I really respect your way of thinking very much...
I find it truly unique, and the way you ask as well, it makes me look at things from a different angle and sometimes laugh at them...
NOW...
***ORIGINAL STATE 'FITRA'***
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC, SO I HAVE TO CONCENTRATE AND WANT YOU TO AS WELL...AS IT IS RELATED TO WHY YOU'RE LIKE THAT, AND WHY I AM LIKE THIS...
NOW, GUESS WHAT?
MOOOOOOOOOOST OF OUR LIVES WERE NOT PLANNED RIGHT....
THE PROPHET SALLA ALLAHU ALYHI WASALAM SAID REGARDING RAISING KIDS...
1-PLAY WITH THEM UNTIL THEY'RE SEVEN...
that's not the case in most of the world's surface...
go and check out the KGs...
i taught and i know what I'm talking about..
I taught grades ones to fives...
Goodness... as if they are doing PhDs.
we should play with them until they're SEVEN...
KGs are full of math and science...etc...
THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE...
and then,
2-DISCIPLINE THEM UNTIL THEY'RE 14...
that's also not the case in most of the places...
they (parents) usually get fed up when they're 8 or ten, and then give up on them 'cuz they we're not "good kids"... the kids they wanted them to be...(saaad)
and then,
3-BE FRIENDS WITH THEM UNTIL THEY'RE 21...
hehehe, funny...ITS HARDLY HAPPENING......
NOW REGARDING THE FITRA PART...
IT IS THE INITIALLY SOUND AND SURRENDER (to Allah) NATURE THAT CHARACTERIZES HUMANS AAAAAAAAAATTTTT BIRTH.
IT STARTS CHANGING FROM THE FIRST HIT ON THE BACK FOLLOWED BY THE FIRST SCREAM...
I MEAN LOOK AT ARAB MOTHERS... THE BABIES START SAYING BABA MAMA, AND ARAB MOTHERS TELL THEM LATER ON NOO NOOOOO, ITS PUPPY MUMMY...
WHY NOT ABY AND UMMY, THE PROPER ARABIC?!
*****KNOWLEDGE*****
Five things that the Qur'an demands from every Muslim are as follows:
1. The Muslim is required to believe in the Qur'an,
2. He is required to read it,
3. He is required to understand it,
4. He is required to act upon its teachings, and
5. He is required to convey its teachings to others.

NOW WHAT I MEANT, IS ANY KNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR PURE AND SOLE INTENTION BEHIND IT IS PLEASING ALLAH AND HIS APOSTLE IN A WAY...
AND WAYS ARE ALWAYS DIFFERENT...
WITH RESPECT,
