Summary/Abstract: In philosophy, there are numerous arguments for the existence of God which differ in significance, while each of these arguments having its advantages and disadvantages. The argument of fitrat for the existence of God has only recently received the attention that it deserves in philosophy because of its significance. The paper discusses that topic. The paper has been designed in a way that the first chapter is dedicated to the philosophical analysis of the argument of fitrat, which follows Mulla Sadra’s philosophy. The second chapter gives an overview of the Qur’anic view of fitrat and its being an argument for the existence of God. In the third chapter we cite the traditions that even further elaborate the Qur’anic teachings of the matter. The paper aims to ultimately show that these three sources of human knowledge do not contradict each other in their results, in this case regarding fitrat, but are compatible and complementary to each other.
