  • Children Dying Before Puberty Reach Jannah

    Assalamualaikum . We know that any child that dies before hitting the age of puberty reaches Jannah however I’m unable to understand this hadith. Please clarify.

    Sahih Muslim 2662 c

    A’isha, the mother of the believers, said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was called to lead the funeral prayer of a child of the Ansar. I said:

    Allah’s Messenger, there is happiness for this child who is a bird from the birds of Paradise for it committed no sin nor has he reached the age when one can commit sin. He said: ‘A’isha, per adventure, it may be otherwise, because God created for Paradise those who are fit for it while they were yet in their father’s loins and created for Hell those who are to go to Hell. He created them for Hell while they were yet in their father’s loins.

    It is about the knowledge of Allah. The prophet reminded her on this occasion about this fact that Allah knows already whonwill go to hell or heaven. It was not to negate that he won’t to Jannah.

    The narrations are not the exact words of the whole episode took place on an occasion. We understand them in the light go established fact of religion.
