"Is Original Sin a Fact"

The book "Is Original Sin a Fact?" by author Majed S. Al-Rassi, featured as Part 4 of "The Clear Religion Series" and excerpted from the larger work "Who Deserves to be Worshipped?", focuses precisely on one of the most debated theological issues in intellectual and religious history: the doctrine of "Original Sin". The book begins with a methodical introduction in which the author clarifies core terms and concepts, such as the implications of using the words "Lord" and "Allah" preparing the reader to grasp the proper theological context. The author then moves on to deconstruct and analyze the historical background behind the emergence of the inherited sin concept, subjecting it to the scales of reason and logic and questioning its compatibility with the concept of absolute divine justice. In contrast, the book clearly outlines the Islamic perspective on sin and atonement, emphasizing the principle of individual accountability and the pure innate nature (Fitrah) with which every human is born where no soul bears the burden of another and the door to direct repentance and salvation remains permanently open to all without intercessors. The book concludes its chapters with an explicit and direct "Call to Reason" urging the reader to reconsider inherited dogmas. It is supported by an appendix and a glossary of terms, serving as an intellectual guide that opens horizons for interfaith dialogue and directs humanity toward the path of salvation based on pure belief and righteous deeds.
