  • Q30;30

فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا ۚ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ .

Translation” So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah ( referring to RELIGION instinct ) of Allah upon which He has created in [all] people. No replacement (alteration /change) should there be in the creation of Allah. (referring to religion ) That is the correct religion” ——-

  • Some muslims have a misconception based of misunderstanding of above Quran verse, relating it the alteration or change to general GOD creation thus judging that it would be Haram (non lawful) to have a plastic surgery or pluck brows for women or hair dying .. etc while actually & verbally –as per verse- ,this creation refers to the instinctive human religion genesis/nature (fitrah) created in the human embedded in our father Adam , .If  alteration/changing of Allah creation is sinful then making cars will be sinful because we are altering metal into a car , same to clothes & computers & all modern tools whereby we are changing & altering metals & raw materials into tools & equipment & merchandise. Also wearing clothes will be sinful because we were born naked without our clothes on thus wearing clothes is an alteration of GOD creation.. Also curing congenital disease or treating sickness or culling cancer cells & tumor would be sinful because we are changing Allah creation who made these diseases , also eye contact lenses will be sinful & cooking meat & food will be sinful because we are changing its creation status from raw to cooked food , thus everything in the world we do would be sinful. Of course we are creating & changing ALLAH creation everyday & moment by manufacturing cars & tools & airplanes & computers & clothes & merchandise .. etc out of raw materials created by Allah & this is fully allowable & necessary & normal & ALLAH mentioned that there are other creators else than Him in Q 23;14

فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّـهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ

translation “So blessed is Allah, the best of creators.”————– .

  • The Tafsirs (interpretation/commentary ) of Ibn kathir, Al Jalalin , Al Qurtubi , AlTabari , Al Sharawi “ all show that God creation is referring to RELIGION embedded instinct /genesis/nature (fitrah) created in the human as clearly stated in the verse tafsir

فأقم } يا محمد { وجهك للدين حنيفا} مائلا إليه: أي أخلص دينك لله أنت ومن تبعك { فطرتَ الله } خلقته { التي فطر الناس عليها } وهي دينه أي: الزموها { لا تبديل لخلق الله } لدينه أي: لا تبدلوه بأن تشركوا { ذلك الدين القيّم } المستقيم توحيد الله { ولكن أكثر الناس } أي كفار مكة { لا يعلمون } توحيد الله

translation “So set your purpose, O Muhammad (s), for religion, as a hanīf, as one inclining to it — in other words, devote your religion, you and whoever follows you, purely to God — a nature given by God, upon which He originated mankind, and this [nature] is His religion: in other words, adhere to it. There is no changing God’s creation, His religion, that is to say, do not change it by becoming idolaters.” .

  • All Tafsirs note that GOD fitrah creation in the above verse relates to the RELIGION instinct genesis of the human which was embedded in human genetics creation & will remain in genetics throughout all generations & will not be replaced , but the human lust & greed & satan seduction changes the human inclination towards the wrong & disobedience to ALLAH & the Tafsirs cite another verse stating that all Adam pedigree in the genesis of Adam before their birth have testified that ALLAH is their Lord, Q7;172
  • وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَا

translation “And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam – from their loins – their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes, we have testified.” [This]”
