The Prophet SAW made that dua, so his followers/ummah would make it, and ask forgiveness of their sins. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Aloha John316 ,

The part about nothing died before Adam(AS) is an assumption as far as I know. correct me if I am wrong.

Also if Mankind became sinners due to Adams sin then what caused Adam to sin in his pure state? It was satan of course, he was tempted as we are to this day by satan. And yes, we also have are bestial inclinations however we have been given the will to decide to follow it or not. I don't blame Adam(AS) for my inclinations nor do I think God is so unjust as to hold me accountable for the actions of another.

However in christianity this is what you are taught, a sinless man must suffer and is held accountable for the sins of others, We are accountable for Adams sin just as Jesus was accountable for everyones sin...This is not the same God as Islam but rather an unjust one... a different one to the one preached by Jesus(AS) in the Qur'an.

Yes I heard of this, and also if you read on further you see these passages:

"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me. 6But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

You see the part in bold implies that the child is a Christian, Jesus(AS) according to the Bible did not pick a random child but a christian child and we all know all christians believe they are forgiven so long as they believe anyway. Also another thing is Jesus in the above implies the child could sin (actions for which they will be punished) but a child who does not know right from wrong, why should he/she be accountable?
Also if you were to say children aren't born sinners wouldn't you be contradicting what you said above:

		But after Adam sinned God cursed mankind and gave way to sin suffering and death. Because of sins curse we are born with that nature inclined to sin. So our flesh is nothing good. The heart is deceitfully wicked above all things. Every man is tempted by his own lusts.

In Islam any child, be they Christian, Jew etc is sinless until they reach puberty.


I pray you find peace
