There are many released researches by non-Muslim scientists to claim that belief is inside every one including born children, let us read….
According to a British study, Children are “born believers” in God and do not simply acquire religious beliefs through indoctrination and direct knowledge.
Dr Justin Barrett, a senior researcher at the University of Oxford’s Centre for Anthropology and Mind, claims that young people have a predisposition to believe in a supreme being because they assume that everything in the world was created with a purpose.
He says that young children have faith even when they have not been taught about it by family or at school, and argues that even those raised alone on a desert island would come to believe in God.
Also, he added that “The preponderance of scientific evidence for the past 10 years or so has shown that a lot more seems to be built into the natural development of children’s minds than we once thought, including a predisposition to see the natural world as designed and purposeful and that some kind of intelligent being is behind that purpose,”.
“If we threw a handful on an island and they raised themselves I think they would believe in God.” Said Barrett
Another research by a group of researchers (Paul Bloom, Jesse Bering, and Emma Cohen) suggests that children may also be predisposed to believe in a
Soul that persists beyond death
Barrett say that belief comes so naturally to children may sound like an attack on religious belief (belief in gods is just leftover childishness) or a promotion of religious belief (God has implanted a seed for belief in children).glory to Allah Almighty who told us in His holy book (Qur’an) what recent scientists say in the following verse: (And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam’s loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): “Am I not your Lord?” They said: “Yes! We testify,” lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: “Verily, we have been unaware of this.”)
{ Sûrat Al-A‘râf -The Heights-verse172}
Disbelievers and atheists claim that belief is a human made; also they claim that religions were created by group of people to control others. The previous research destroyed that claim and supported the belief that Allah Almighty is the one who implanted inside all of us the belief in Him not the indoctrination or human knowledge.
Prophet Mohamed peace be upon him say in the hadith “No child is born except on Al-Fitra (Islam) and then his parents make him Jewish, Christian or Magian” {Narrated Abu Huraira}
Allah Almighty in many verses assures that He didn’t create this world without a purpose as He says :( We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them for a (mere) play.){ Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ’- The Prophets -verse16}
Also He says :( And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose){ Sûrat Sâd-verse27}
Recent researches confirm that pure nature guides people to know that this world is not without a purpose, but the purpose is unknown by many people.
The reason behind creation stated in a very clear statement by Allah Almighty as He says: (And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).){ Sûrat Adh-Dhâriyât – The Winds that Scatter -verse56}
Thanks Allah for the blessing of Islam
