Sin
Islamic anthropology holds each person is born in a state of natural purity (fitrah) and denies inherited sin - each soul bears only its own deeds on the scale (mizan), not Adam’s. Romans 5’s federal-headship argument (‘in Adam all die’) and 1:18-3:20’s universal guilt run directly against fitrah doctrine and must be taught deliberately, not assumed as shared ground.
