Fetrah / Fitra

Pronunciation:
Fiṭ·ra
ˈfɪtˤɾa, ˈfɪtɾa

Word Classification:
noun: fitra (uncountable noun)

Definition:
(Islam) The original state of humans after being created by God, as ordained to be in a state of Natural Law.

Etymology:
The word "Fetrah" originated from Fitra, which is connected to natural law.

Details:
While Fitra generally refers to the concept of natural law, Fetrah on the other hand is a word that is used to represent a concept of evolutionary psychology / sociology. The FETRAH movement acronym stands for Family Embracement of Transcendent Righteous Actions and Honor. The movement asserts the common belief that there is a connection between evolutionary biological predispositions and how humans are ordained to behave, most notably in regards to heterosexual (normal sexual) behaviours. The movement began trending on Twitter in 2022 and has been growing since.
Friend 1: Did you know that less that a quarter of non-heterosexual behavior is linked to genetics, while the rest is related to upbringing and environment? Its from the NATURE scientific journal.

Friend 2: That's what I've been telling you, humans naturally behave through FETRAH (natural law). Deviations are typically due to sociological innovations.

FETRAH is an acronym that stands for : Family Embracement of Transcendent Righteous Actions and Honour.

It is a phrase used by people who believe in family values and assert that heterosexuality is the norm and should remain so. The phrase is spelled very similar to Fitra, which is the Islamic concept of Natural Law.

Fetrah represents a growing faction of people both religious and otherwise that are skeptical of the idea that suggests homosexuality is inherently natural to humans, and Fetrah rather asserts that it is a result of nurture not nature.
Friend 1: Man, I'm kind of skeptical of this new movement about "sex positivity" being so important.

Friend 2: Same, I'm kind of considering the ideas of FETRAH and Natural Law. Some things are just meant to be a certain way and it's as simple as that.

Ferah Fairy or Farah is the most beautiful girl you will ever have the chance to meet. She is such a sweetheart with a loving heart who will do whatever it takes to help anyone who needs her. The first impression her gorgeous smile gives is how nice and loyal she is. But don't be mistook by her baby face because she is a strong fighter, someone ambitious who works hard for her dreams..

If you come across a Ferrah, consider yourself lucky. 👏🏼 She is strong, outgoing and funny. She’s warm and amazing, creds to the meaning of her name which is happiness. A pretty brown eyed girl with long curly hair. She always tries to bring a smile to’ everyone’s faces, whether it be a stranger or friend. Ferrah is the type of girl who is full of wisdom and will try to help where she can. She is a Queen, and those who attempt to break her only give her more courage to become stronger.
Think, what would Ferrah do.”
