Why were other religions not mentioned—apart from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism—in the Hadith: "No child is born but upon Fitra (natural disposition), and then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian"? And do these religions not contradict Fitra, or do all other religions originate from those mentioned in the noble Hadith?
