[quote]Hello everyone! I have a question that has been bothering me, and I am hoping maybe someone here can give me a better understanding of the subject. The following verse [quote] He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving (Al-Mulk 67:2) [/quote] indicates that the sole purpose of life and death is for us to perform the deeds by which we will be judged on the Day of Judgment. Allah already knew who would go to heaven and who to hell before he even created us, but this way it is said that the ultimate judgement is more 'fair' because we will have known our own deeds and will understand why we are in heaven/hell. My question is: According to Islam, would a baby who dies go to heaven or hell? The baby has no deeds or decisions that it can be judged by, so does it automatically go to heaven? I can see no justifiable reason why the baby should go to hell, such a sentence would be the epitome of injustice. The thing is... even if the baby is sent to heaven, this is very unjust. Why should any souls basically get a free pass to heaven without having been tested? If the purpose of life and death is truly to test us, then how can souls who die as babies be judged? Does this indicate that God's testing system is not just when it comes to babies?[/quote]
