Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Before Prophet Noah (AS), they [mankind] were a single community upon the fitra [The special origination or innate nature deposited in man by Allah which calls him to his Creator (ed.)] of Allah, neither guided nor in error, thereafter Allah sent the prophets.
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : كانوا قَبلَ نُوحٍ اُمّةً واحِدَةً على فِطْرَةِ اللّهِ لا مُهْتَدينَ ولا ضُلّالاً ، فَبعَثَ اللّهُ النَّبِيّينَ.
