What does the term 'fitrah' mean in the context of human nature?

Fitrah refers to the inherent goodness and purity with which every human is born. It is the potential for righteousness that Allah bestows upon humans, enabling them to manage and navigate life responsibly.

What distinguishes humans from other creations according to the speaker?

Humans are distinct from other creations because of their intellect ('akal'), their free will to choose between good and evil, and their spiritual essence ('ruh'), which allows them to understand and worship Allah.

What are the three essential characteristics of a true human being as mentioned in the script?

The three essential characteristics are: 1) engaging in meaningful activities, 2) not resigning to fate and exercising effort (ikhtiar), and 3) performing good deeds (amal shalih), which prepare them for accountability before Allah.

Why is human accountability so significant in Islam?

Humans, being the most superior creation and Allah's representatives on earth, are accountable for their actions. They must fulfill their duties both as servants to Allah and as leaders ('khalifah') on earth, and they will be judged for their actions on the Day of Judgment.

Ruh, or soul, is the divine aspect of human existence, given by Allah. Its nature is beyond human comprehension, as Allah has only granted limited knowledge about it. The ruh connects humans to their spiritual purpose and destiny.

How does Islam view the freedom of choice for humans?

Humans are granted the freedom to choose between right and wrong. This freedom is part of their test in life, and they must use their intellect ('akal') to make decisions that align with their divine purpose.

The ultimate goal of human life is to worship Allah. Every action, from prayer to daily activities, should be directed towards fulfilling this purpose, which leads to spiritual success and fulfillment.

According to Islam, humans are the best of creations and are appointed as stewards (khalifah) on Earth, responsible for managing and maintaining its well-being. It highlights the significant role and responsibilities of humans in determining the fate of the Earth, as their actions have a direct impact on its condition.

It explains that humans possess a unique spiritual component, the 'ruh' (soul), which is a divine mystery known only to Allah. This paragraph also discusses the concept of free will, granted by Allah to enable humans to make choices that align with divine guidance. It emphasizes the importance of intellect (aql) in distinguishing right from wrong, fostering creativity, and contributing to the advancement of knowledge.
