Every individual is born into a religious environment that
is not in accordance with his/her choice; a child is raised to
follow the religion or ideology of his/her family, society or
culture. Even as a new-born, he/she is assigned either the
religion of his/her family or the ideology of the state; in some
countries, the child’s assigned religion is even recorded on
his/her birth certificate. By the time individuals reach their
teens, they have usually accepted the beliefs of their parents or
their particular society, feeling that they have little choice in the
matter.
However, individuals often encounter, or are exposed, to
various beliefs and ideologies throughout the course of their
lives, leading many to question long-held beliefs, traditions or
philosophical ideas. They begin to question the validity of their
own beliefs. Seekers of truth often reach a point of confusion,
especially upon realising that the believers of every religion,
sect, ideology and philosophy claim to profess the one and only
truth.
To be more specific, amongst the doctrines which the
followers of Jesus (‘alayhi as-salâm - peace be upon him) have
inherited across centuries is the belief in 'the original sin'. This

booklet discusses the reality of this belief from both theoretical
and logical point of views.
Before we proceed with the book, here is a reminder to
bear the following four things in mind in one’s quest for the
truth:
Firstly, Allah (subhânahu wa Ta‘âlâ - Glorified and
Exalted is He) has given us the ability and the intellect to

discover the answer to this crucial question, which is also a life-
changing decision: What is the True Religion?

Secondly, Allah, the Most Compassionate, has not left us
to go astray without any guidance. Indeed, He sent us prophets
with scriptures to show us the right path.
