When some young children die very young, before they become responsible for acting upon the Sharia, as I understand… How can young children die very young? Perhaps very young children die very young? Perhaps I should have put it another way, sir. It’s alright, please go ahead. As I understand, prophets will be sent to them at the time of Qiyamah. I may be wrong, but this is my understanding.
Prophets will be sent to them at the time of Qiyamah? At the time of Qiyamah. No, no. Where did you hear this? This must be a misunderstanding I have from somebody, sir. I’ll explain. What is mentioned in the tradition is this, that Ahazrat Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was known in the region, Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. as a very tall figure, and by his side were so many children.
So it was told to him by Jibreel A.S. that those children who die young, they are handed over to Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. to bring them up to the correct laws of Sharia and correct behaviour, which they missed because they died young. So that means that it is important to go through the mill of Sharia to give proper development to your souls.
If you die young, you still need that, and whatever you could not achieve here through Allah’s mercy, that is ingrained into you by some means by which Allah has chosen Hazrat Ibrahim A.S. to look after this school of training, whatever you may call it. This is the tradition which we read, but as far as your version is concerned, I understood that prophets are sent to them, they may deny them, they may believe in them, and the whole process of acceptance and refusal begins all over again. This is not correct.
