Fitra
Fitra or fitrah (Arabic: فطرة; ALA-LC: fiṭrah) is either the state of purity and innocence in which Muslims believe all humans to be born, or the ability to choose or reject God's guidance, with which both humans and jinn are endowed. Fitra is an Arabic word that is usually translated as "original disposition", "natural constitution", or "innate nature of any Muslim."It has also been suggested that the religious meaning can be translated into the logical equivalent in philosophy, as Kant's concept of 'ought'.

Fitra
Fitra, or fitrah, is an Arabic word meaning ‘disposition’, ‘nature’, ‘constitution’, or ‘instinct’. In a mystical context, it can connote intuition or insight. It is similar to the Calvinist term "Sensus divinitatis". According to Islamic theology, human beings are born with an innate inclination of tawhid, which is encapsulated in the fitra along with compassion, intelligence, ihsan and all other attributes that embody what it is to be human. It is for this reason that some Muslims prefer to refer to those who embrace Islam as reverts rather than converts, as it is believed they are returning to a perceived pure state. The perfect embodiments of fitra were Abraham and Muhammad. Narrated Abu-Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "No child is born except on the fitra and then his parents make him Jewish, Christian or Magian, as an animal produces a perfect young animal: do you see any part of its body amputated?" - Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 441
