In addition, Islamic theology teaches that all children above the age of four months in the womb until before the age of puberty will go to Paradise, (if they happen to pass away), regardless of whether or not their parents were Muslims.

“The worst of God’s servants are those who speak ill of another in order to cause hatred between friends, and also those who constantly find faults with other people.” (Ma’ariful Qur’an)
