Every newborn is born upon Fitra, which is Islam. If their parents are non-Muslims, then if the child obeys them in what they call him to, he deviates from the Fitra. But if Allah guides him to Islam, he remains upon his Fitra. When he reaches the age of accountability, if he embraces Islam with his tongue, heart, and limbs, then he is a Muslim. If he chooses otherwise, then he is upon what he chose.
