Every Child is Born as a Muslim — Dr Zakir Naik

SKLI-4

Islam comes from the root word Salam which means peace. It is derived from the Arabic word Silm which means to submit your will to Allah (swt). So Islam means peace acquired by submitting your will to Allah (swt) and any person who acquires peace by submitting his will to Allah (swt), he is called as a Muslim. While educating your children we should see to it that we should not get so much impressed by the western society, we should only take the correct values from the society, we don’t want our children to become alcoholics, to become drug addicts, to become adulators, to become rapists; we want them to be good Muslims who submit their will to Allah (swt).

And our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saws) said that every child, he is born in Deenul Fitr. Deenul Fitr means the innate religion; every child is born as a Muslim. He submits his will to Allah (swt). Later on the elders, the parents, the teachers, they influence the child. He may remain on the straight path or he may become a fire worshiper, he may become a idol worshiper and then he may go outside the fold of Islam but every child initially irrespective whether he is born in a Hindu family, whether he is born in a Christian family, a Jewish family or a Muslim family, He is born as a Muslim. He submits his will to Allah (swt) later on by the influence of other people, parents, teachers, elders he may go on the wrong track that’s the reason whenever any non-Muslim, he accepts Islam the more appropriate and correct word is revert he was on the straight path, he went on the wrong track and then he came back on the straight path, on the straight track. So the correct word is ‘revert’.

And we have got proof and evidence that every child, he is born on Deenul Fitr. There were researches done on 2 tribes, the Kapaku tribe and the Australian Aborigine tribe. These 2 tribes did not come in contact with modern civilization till as late as 1950 and later on when researchers went and tried to find out what was their way of life, it was everything of Islam but in name they did not call themselves Muslims but they believed in one God, they believe that God did not have any idols or images, they believe He was not begotten. When they worshipped the God, they did the Sujood, they prostrated, they were following the basics of Islam but they didn’t call themselves Muslims. So if we let a child after he is born if we do not influence him with any of the teachings that child will grow up to be a Muslim. That is the Deenul Fitr, innate religion.
