The General Innate Principles in the Holy Qur’an and Their Effect on the Method of Steadfastness in Religion – Presentation and Analysis –

Abstract
The study explores the concept of innate principles (al-Qawa al-Fiṭriyyah) from the Qur’anic perspective and examines their impact on the process of religious verification (Tathabbut) in matters of faith. These principles serve as objective tools for convincing individuals of the truth of religion, and they emphasize the necessity for a person to reflect deeply on their religious commitment—since this is the most critical issue in one’s life, as their eternal destiny depends on their adherence to and awareness of their faith.
The study highlights the characteristics of innate knowledge, its foundations in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and explains the factors that may weaken or distort it. This topic gains even greater importance considering the increasing spread of atheism and malicious propaganda against religion. In such a context, sound human nature (Faṭrah Salimah) plays a vital role in preserving faith, reflecting upon it, and verifying it. However, if this innate nature becomes corrupted or deviates, it may lead to the loss of one’s religion altogether.
For a person to preserve their faith and affirm its truth, it is essential to observe and apply these innate principles in religious matters. Therefore, it is imperative for every individual to examine and care about their religion in accordance with the natural principles that guide concern toward significant matters—since this issue is existential in nature.
From this standpoint, the present thesis, entitled:
“The General Innate Principles in the Holy Qur’an and Their Impact on the Methodology of Religious Verification – A Presentation and Analysis”,
was initiated due to the great importance of the topic.
There are deeply rooted innate principles within the human soul that cannot be removed or extracted. These principles are recognized intuitively and are divided into two main categories:
Theoretical principles, perceived by speculative intellect.
Practical behavioral principles, as will be explained in detail in the study.
