The article entitled "a Reflection on the Implication of the Verse Thirty of Sūrah the Romans on the Immutability of Fitra" challenges the common view on the interpretation of this verse and concludes that this verse does not basically address the issue of "stability or mutability of fitra"; rather, the implication of the verse is the negation of any "transformation" in the "creation" of God. The meaning of the verse of fitra is that God's creation follows laws that are never subject to change. This paper defends the common view on the interpretation of the verse thirty of Sūrah the Romans about the immutability of fitra, and shows that this view does not contradict the influence of fitra on factors such as education, training and behavior. It also indicates that the realization of change in the requirements of man's fitra cannot be a reason for arguing the mutability of man's innate identity, and the metamorphic verses (Maskh) do not imply the decline of fitra in metamorphosed human beings. If we consider the verse of fitra to deny any change from "God's creation", this verse still implies that fitra is immutable.
