What is the stance of Islam on the original sin?

The lesson that Allah taught mankind, on accepting Adam's repentance for eating from the forbidden tree, represents the first incident of the Lord's forgiveness to mankind.

Man is born pure and sinless and becomes responsible for his deeds since the age of puberty.
