It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Every child is born upon pure nature, then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian, or a polytheist. People asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), what will happen to those who die before (reaching maturity)?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah knows best what they would have done when they grew up.
