Question
It is only natural that people who grow up in different social and religious environments will have differences in values and identities. For example, a person born in a Hindu family grows up to be a Hindu. His religion is the best for him. As a result, it is natural for him to think that he will remain a Hindu for the rest of his life. Then let's assume that he has somehow received the invitation to Islam. But why would he choose a new one instead of his religious identity? Isn't it much harder for a person to become a Muslim than to be a Muslim at birth? I am afraid to think to myself, if I had been born somewhere other than a Muslim house, what would have been my condition for so long! Shouldn't this be the rule that everyone should have an equal opportunity to come under the shadow of Islam from the very beginning of their life? 7341536414

The above question arises due to ignorance of a key issue. That is, why did God send people into the world? Allah has sent man to test the world. Who can know God? Who else can not recognize. The One who created death and life for you, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Best of Deeds. He is the Almighty, the Forgiving. (Surah Muluk-2) And if someone dies before the age of recognition, then there is no punishment for that person. But if he dies without obeying Allah after reaching the age of recognizing, then he will be in Hell. I want that person to be born in the house of a Muslim and in the house of a non-Muslim. The success of the Hereafter does not lie with birth. What was his step when he learned to understand after birth? That is the key. Since the world is a testing ground. So if everyone was born in a Muslim house, that test would have been easier. So why not everyone was born in a Muslim house? The question is largely absurd. The test is not easy. Is a little difficult. For this reason, many non-Muslims take refuge in the shadow of Islam after reaching adulthood. Again, at birth, a Muslim also becomes an apostate and becomes a perpetual hellfire. It is not a crime to have a child in a non-Muslim family. There is nothing wrong with the child. That is why it is clearly stated in the Hadith that every child, no matter who is born in Ursa, remains a Muslim when he is a minor. Then when he grows up, his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, etc., an infidel. عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه, قال: قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: «كل مولود يولد على الفطرة, فأبواه يهودانه, أو ينصرانه, أو يمجسانه, كمثل البهيمة تنتج البهيمة هل ترى فيها جدعاء • narrated from Abu Hurairah RA. He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Every newborn is born on Fitrat. His parents then converted him into a Jew or a Christian or a fire worshiper. Such quadrupeds give birth to a full-grown baby. Have you seen him (born) prickly? (Bukhari, Hadith No. 1375) If the child dies as a child or a minor, then he will be in Paradise. But after reaching adulthood, when his conscience and intellect are awakened. Then it is the duty to know his Lord with the wisdom given by Allah. Allah has distinguished man from all other creatures by intellect. Man is the greatest creation. The reason is that human beings have intellect and conscience. No other creature has that. Only a person with a healthy conscience will understand that a small car cannot run at will. It cannot be built by itself, it takes a manufacturer, it takes a driver to drive a car. So this world, this vast solar system, innumerable planets and stars cannot be created by itself. Surely no skilled craftsman has built it with his skillful hands. Natural conscience will lead a person to believe in the existence of a great Creator. Then his curiosity will help to find the true religion. For this reason, if a person dies in his old age without believing in one God and believing in the true religion of his time, then he will be in hell. If the child of an infidel dies as a minor, there is no punishment for that child. There is a long hadith in the narration No. 138 of Sahih Bukhari. Where the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) narrated the incident of Meraj. At one point in the long hadith came: “As we walked we came to a green garden. It had a big tree in it. At the base of the tree was an old man and several boys and girls ... ”. It was later explained that "the old man at the base of the tree was Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and the boys and girls around him were children of man." (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 138; Ifaba-1303) According to the hadith, the children of man will be with Ibrahim in Paradise. The word in the hadith is man. Muslims and infidels are all among the people. That is why Imam Nawabi (may Allah be pleased with him) has said that the statement of the infidels that the minor dead children are in Paradise is pure. قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانظظُرُوا كَيْفَ بَدَأَ الْخَلْقَ ۚ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ يُنشِئُ الننَّشِْأَ الْآخِرَةَ Then God will create again. Surely Allah is Able to do all things. (Al-Ankabut -২0) أفلم يسيروا في الأرض فتكون لهم قلوب يعقلون بها أو آذان يسمعون بها فإنها لا تعمى الأبصار ولكن تعمى القلوب التي في الصدور • Have they not traveled in the land so that they have a heart to understand and ears Can? In fact, the eye is not blind, but the heart in the chest is blind. (Surat al-Hajj: 46) 1552644687
