A powerful question was asked during a public lecture: the first man created on Earth, which caste or religion did he belong to? Was he sent to spread divisions among people, or to spread love? The answer cuts through centuries of man-made divisions and points to a truth that resonates with every human heart.
Every Child Is Born Muslim
According to the Quran, the first man on Earth was Adam (peace be upon him), and he submitted his will to Almighty God. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that every child, regardless of the family they are born into, enters this world as a Muslim, meaning a person who submits to Almighty God.
“Muslim doesn’t mean a person who has a label by the name of Zakir or Muhammad or Abdullah. Muslim means a person who submits their will to Almighty God. Every child is born sinless.”
Proof from Untouched Civilizations
Research conducted on two isolated tribes that had no contact with modern civilization until 1950 revealed something remarkable:
- Both tribes believed in One God without anyone teaching them
- They performed prostration in their prayers, similar to the Muslim prayer
- They did not make idols or images of God
- Their entire way of life resembled Islam in everything except name
“If you keep a child and don’t have any external influence on him, don’t teach him the Quran, the Bible, or any scripture, you will find that his way of life is nothing but what Almighty God wants.”
All the messengers of God, from Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them all), came with the same message: worship One God and spread love, not division. The caste system, religious tribalism, and man-made barriers between people are not from God. They are deviations from the original, pure message of Islam.
