One of the blessed names of God is "Fatiru's-samawati wa'l-ard" (6:14; 12:101; 14:10; 35:1; 39:46; 42:11), which means the Creator of the heavens and the earth. The creation of the Creator is called "fitrat". This means God is the Fatir and the universe is the fitrat. Fitrat is also the name of the religion of Islam, for as the Holy Prophet says: "Every child is born according to fitrat (i.e. Islam), then it is his parents who make him a Jew, or a Christian or a Magian". From this Hadith it becomes clear that a wisdom- filled name of Islam is "fitrat" and this is a complete name, and to say "din-i fitrat" or religion of fitrat is only as an explanation, just as "Islam" is a complete name, yet it is also called "din-i Islam", or the religion of Islam.
