Sin
Günah is the standard shared term, but Islamic theology holds humans are born sinless (fitrah) and only become accountable at the age of reason through individual bad deeds; Romans’ doctrine of universal, inherited sinfulness (5:12-19) needs explicit teaching support, since günah alone will not automatically carry that inherited dimension for a reader from this background.
