Musleh Khan – What Happens to Children That Die Young

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01

I never think about children

00:00:03 --> 00:00:09

and losing a child, which of course, is every parent's worst nightmare.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:14

And I think about when a child is very young,

00:00:16 --> 00:00:26

where does that child go? What happens to that child? Will the parent or parents ever be reunited with that same child again.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:42

And our prophets, Arlene salatu salam gave us a number of ahaadeeth. There's a long list of many a hadith that gives us an insight to what happens to children who pass away at a young age.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:51

And this first narration happened during the journey of Surah, Al Miraj.

00:00:53 --> 00:01:00

Our Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam had seen a man that was so tall,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:07

that his head was within the clouds, very large, tall men.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:14

And he asked the angels who is this person and they said that that is Ibrahim alayhis salam.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:33

And he saw that there were so many children as far as the eyes can see. And as he's narrating the story, he says, I have never seen that many children in one place ever. So when asked Who are these children?

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

These are the children that passed away at a young age.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

And was the Companions heard this, one of them asked the autosomal Allah,

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

even the children who weren't Muslim,

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

and he said none even the children who weren't Muslim
