Notes	The aim of this study is to establish that religion is compatible with human nature in terms of belief and worship and to critically address religious reductionism. Religion is a tool to make sense of and build life. Its relationship with life makes it a possible concept. In other words, religion, with its beliefs and rituals, is not of a quality that exceeds human nature, but is in accordance with the human ability to think and act. Islam's definition of itself as a religion of nature describes its relationship with human nature. Fitrah is human nature. Every human being is born with a nature, including his physical and spiritual structure. Hz. The Prophet underlined this fact and stated that everyone is born with a natural nature. Every child is born prone to Islam. Islam is the Hanif religion and is the common name of the divine invitation that became flesh and bones with the prophets in history, and is based on monotheism and the moral law that develops accordingly. In order for the faith to be functional and for moral values to be kept alive, Islam commands worship and tells us what should be done and what should be avoided in society. These laws may vary depending on history and society. But this change never exceeds the human nature or changes it. On the contrary, Islam wants to mature human nature and protect it from things that are likely to destroy it. Therefore, it is the Hanif religion in the sense of turning to the supreme creator. The approach that puts aside the principles of religion, which means harmony with nature, and reduces it to concrete rituals and rules, generally confines the truth to a certain sect or group. He reduces religion to texts - to the exclusion of reason - and truth to a sect, and accuses the other of bid'ah or blasphemy. Thus, it does not grant the other person the right to life. This means alienating religion from the truth of man. In our article, this problem has been criticized with a qualitative research method based on the source review technique.
