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.

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.
