A Quranic Concept with Universal Appeal: The Innate Monotheistic Disposition ( Fitra ) By Geneviève Gobillot University of Lyon AQuranicConceptwithUniversalAppealTheInnateMonotheisticDispositionFitra Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: A Arts & Humanities - Psychology Volume 23 Issue 5 Version 1.0 Year 2023 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Strictly as per the compliance and regulations of: Abstract- This article aims to present some of the main issues relating to fitra - a term generally understood as designating an innate monotheistic disposition in humans - in the Qur’an alone, without any subsequent exegetical or traditional contribution 1 . On the other hand, it gives pride of place to the intertextual approach, which allows us to situate this notion in a thematic line going back to Ancient Greece, and which gave rise to theories developed in various monotheistic circles of Late Antiquity, particularly Jewish, Judeo-Christian and Christian.
