Q

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Every child is born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah
Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magainism, as an animal delivers a

Allah’s Islamic nature (true faith of Islam) (i.e. worshipping none but Allah) with which He has
