Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every child is born upon the natural disposition (fitrah), but his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian. Just as an animal gives birth to a complete and whole animal—do you see any of its limbs born mutilated? Then Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is Allah’s natural disposition upon which He has created people. There is no change in Allah’s creation; this is the upright religion.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the minor children of the polytheists. He replied: Allah knows best what deeds they would have done.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked about the minor children of the polytheists. He replied that when Allah created them, He already knew well what deeds they would do.
