The Soul and Fiṭrah: a concept map
For ʿAllāmah Ṭabāṭabāʾī the soul is the real human being, and fiṭrah is the nature God gave it: a nature that knows its Lord, tells good from evil, and points every person to the same religion. This map follows him: what the soul is, its states, the soul as the path to God, what fiṭrah is, how fiṭrah knows God, and what it means for human society. Each point opens his own words in the commentary.
