Sahih al-Bukhari 4775 (Book 65, Hadith 297) #4558
Innate Nature of Worshipping Allah Alone

SUMMARY: Every child is born with an innate nature of worshipping Allah alone, and it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children remain on this path.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "No child is born except on Al-Fitra (Islam) and then his parents make him Jewish, Christian or Magian, as an animal produces a perfect young animal: do you see any part of its body amputated?" Then he continued 'The religion of pure Islamic Faith (Hanifa),(ie to worship none but Allah), The pure Allah's Islamic nature with which He (Allah) has created mankind. Let There be no change in Allah's religion (ie to join none in Allah's worship). That is the straight religion; but most of men know not".. (30:30)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَا مِنْ مَوْلُودٍ إِلاَّ يُولَدُ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، فَأَبَوَاهُ يُهَوِّدَانِهِ أَوْ يُنَصِّرَانِهِ أَوْ يُمَجِّسَانِهِ، كَمَا تُنْتَجُ الْبَهِيمَةُ بَهِيمَةً جَمْعَاءَ، هَلْ تُحِسُّونَ فِيهَا مِنْ جَدْعَاءَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ ‏{‏فِطْرَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا لاَ تَبْدِيلَ لِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ‏}‏

This hadith explains the importance of teaching children about Islam from a young age. It emphasizes that every child is born with an innate nature to worship Allah alone, and it is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children remain on this path. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ compares this natural inclination towards Islam to how animals produce perfect young animals without any part being amputated. He then goes on to explain that the religion which should be followed by all mankind is pure Islamic faith, which means worshipping none but Allah and not changing His religion in any way.
