Meaning: "Every child is born upon the natural disposition; it is his parents who make him a Jew or a Christian."[1]

Dear Islamic brothers! From this Quranic verse and Prophetic Hadith, we learn that we are creation, and our Creator, our Generous Lord, has created us in such a way that religion, faith, and Oneness (Tawhid) have all been placed within our very nature.

He replied: "Yes, I have."
The Imam asked: "Did any terrifying incident ever occur at sea?"
He said: "Yes!"
The Imam said: "Tell me the details!"
The atheist began to say: “One day, during a sea journey, a severe and terrifying storm blew, as a result of which the boat broke and the sailor also
