What is this idea that Muslims think everyone was born into Islam?

Question

But people's cultures led them to other religions and away from "Allah", so those people should "revert" back to Islam? How could this be when Christianity is the world's dominant religion?

Answer 1

NO MATER how I try to say in few words, but better said in pages=

[e-mail]

Islam is the natural way = peace, harmony, and balances:

family, society, nation, international.

hadeeth= prophetic teaching:

a person is born on fitra= purity, parents caused him to become Jew / Christian or pagan

Answer 2

Definition of Muslim is "one who submits to God."

All babies are Muslims who believe in Allah but it is the environmental scenes around them that changes their beliefs.

Answer 3

Everyone is born in a state of submission to God.  When a baby is born, it cries, seeks its mother's milk, knows what to look for, knows what to do when he/she finds it, his/her body knows how to process the milk.  He/she is programmed from birth and knows how to let his/her parents know that a nappy change is needed or is hungry.  He/she is born in a state of instinctive submission, or a state of Islam.

Islam is called the natural religion of man.

When free will kicks in, that is when accountability starts.

Answer 4

I don't think everyone was born into Islam. I hate when people say Adam and Eve were Muslims. ADAM AND EVE did not even know what the TERM muslim meant!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Islam is simply the natural order, like the planets revolving around the sun. Humanity has two strains, that which inclines towards God and that which inclines towards chaos. Both are always competing. Jesus

religion is Islam so Christianity is largely irrelevant to Jesus (peace be upon him).

Answer 6

Another ISlamic supremacy lie .

Answer 7

I agree with Magic Mim. and i don't think they believe everyone is born into Islam. also Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.

please try not to submit to islamophobia. Muslims are seriously like the rest of us. they have social lives, they love their children, and they have a strong, peaceful faith in God which people all around the world share- Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Jainists, etc. only a very, very tiny group are radical as exists in every religion.  

Answer 8

Allah (God almighty)  first created the souls of each and every human born and will take birth from Adam to the last person before this world will come to end.  Then Allah addressed all of them at one time and told them  I  am your God and your creator.  I will be sending each one of you on earth  on time and day plannned by me. I have created you all to worship me and me only and no one else.  All souls prostrated to God and promised that we will worship God only.

When a baby is born, its soul is Muslim and knows there is one and only God.  But it has baby's mind.  The parents and the surroundings brain wash babies in the religions of their parents and slowly they forget that they  were once created by God as Muslims.  Allah will question them on the day of Judgment why you did worshipped others (my creations) and not me even though message of Islam was sent to you by my Divine Books Quran. Toral and Injeel (Original Bible)  and Muslims who gave you message of Islam.  Then their excuses will not be acceptable to Allah. And they may end up getting punishment in h**l fire and some may be forgiven by the mercy of Allah if they never heard of Islam, so they followed correctly rules of their society.  This will be true for people like living deep in Amazone Jungle. Allah will then judge them by their actions obeying or disobeying the commands of their elders and whether they followed the rules of their society. Those who were good will be forgiven and sent to heaven and those who comitted crimes against their people will get severe

punishment.  Allah is not Unjust but the highest Just there is and the Most Merciful, The Most compassionate to  His servants.

This is why when a Non-Muslim recognizes the truth of Islam, we say that he has reverted to his original religion Islam.  Adam and Eve were  Muslims and true believers and followers of Allah's all commands.

Islam started from them  and not from Prophet Mohammad SAW.

Noah believed in one God, Abraham believed in one God. Here are some Ayahs of Quran for you to read and try to understand:

"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Soorah Al-Maa'idah 5:3)

"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Soorah Aal'imraan 3:85)

"Abraham was not a Jew nor Christian; but an upright Muslim." (Soorah Aal'imraan 3:67)

May Allah (God almihty) bless you with wisdom and you follow the true religion of God that Hee gave to Abraham, Isacc, Jacon, Moses and all Biblical Prophets.  They all believed in worshipping one and God who created heavens and worth and every thing between the two.

Answer 9

it dosent matter if its the dominant religion ..thats what muslims believe are u angry beacuse u know its true or dose it truly deeply desturb u that u were onece a lover of allah

Answer 10

why's it matter? we believe that. who cares wats the big deal.  

Answer 11

It's their way of justifying their excesses.  They feel that Abraham and Adam were originally Muslim.  And that they HAVE to force folks back to "the proper" way.

Answer 12

My dear friend Derek salam for youThe idea that all babies were born as muslims because :

1)in the Qur'an Allah spoke that Allah blew the soul into a baby in the womb  of his/her mother when he/she was 4 month old.All Allah's souls are sacred and sinless so they are submitted to Allah just like all muslims.

2)in the hadits of Muhammad pbuh said that the parents and environme

nt made the baby to be a muslim,a christian,a jew or an unbeliever

3)the dominant religion on this earth is christianity so most babies who were born become christians logically which were affected by their parents and their environments

Answer 13

muslims believe that everyone is born a muslim as it is Allah that has created them and he has made them muslim and it is their upbringing that made them something else

so reverting is when u come bck to islam at a later stage in life as you are returnin to wat you were originally

the fact that christianity is the most dominat religion has no relevance to the term revert.

islam is the fastet growin religion in the world because of the many reverts.

Answer 14

You are not born into Christianity, you need to be baptized. With Islam, you are born with it, there is no baptism.  

Answer 15

Considering that Islam came after Christianity and that the muslim population is only a few million fewer than christian population you might come to a different conclusion.

Also Allah is just the arabic word for God. The God in Islam and the God in Christianity are the same deity.  In fact Jesus is still considered a hugely important figure in Islam.  For example Muslims believe that He will return and save the world in a second coming just like christians.  

In the Western world Christianity is shrinking and more and more are becoming atheist.  So I think your question is a little ignorant of the truth.

Also, before the Prophet Muhammed came along all before them were complied with Islamic beliefs. It is the prophecies that Muhammed gave that caused Islam to diverge from the other Abrahamic religions. In fact the Koran states that Christians and Jews are not wrong, but just don't have the full story.

Answer 16

Your not getting it. Every child is born instinctively believing in only 1 God subconsciously but from birth is influenced by society his religion.  

Answer 17

Because the term Islam simply means "submission," specifically submission to Allah.

When Muslims say that, they aren't referring to being born to a specific religious faith as practiced, they mean that we are all born in submission to Allah, but then are later influenced by other belief systems, and no longer submit to the will of Allah.

When referring to Adam and Eve, it means the same thing -- that they were submitting to the will of Allah. Not that they practiced the religion of Islam as we know it today, fasting on Ramadan, making pilgrimage, and reading Quran, etc.
