Inherited Faith?
Is a person born into a Muslim family, who blindly inherits Islam without conscious inquiry, considered fortunate, while a person born into an atheist family, who blindly adopts atheism without inquiry, is considered unfortunate? Does merely being born into a particular family determine whether someone deserves Paradise or Hell? Or does Islam teach that every individual must engage in conscious inquiry and accept faith based on reason, understanding, and evidence? Is faith without conscious reflection and investigation acceptable in Islam?

It is the conscious faith that is required. A heedless Muslim is no better than a heedless non-Muslim. Their test is to show a positive response to Haq when it comes to them.

Thanks for responding
Can you plz quote islamic references that conscious faith is required only not inherited beliefs from parents and society enough?

The whole Qur’an is the reference. It doesn’t accept the conventional beliefs of Jews and christians and asked them to believe rationally.
It tells that wishful thinking avails nothing.
