Sahih Muslim 2662c
Assalam-o-Alaikum! It’s not rejecting the concept of free will. The Prophet SAW is just replying to Hazrat Aaisha that as Allah made paradise and hell. So، in the same way he also made people who will enter in paradise and hell. He is not saying that Allah has made the decision that this man go to hell and that man go to paradise not like that. He is just explaining that there are people who will go to paradise and hell. The above did not mean that Allah will make people to do good and bad deeds. For understanding Hadith we must place it in overall understanding of Islam. As we all know that the sole purpose of creation of this world is only the test of human beings. Those who do good deeds in this world will go paradise and vice versa. Hope you will understand it. It’s only my opinion on the basis of my knowledge.
Moreover, how is it possible that a child, a person who hasnt reached shaoor to be held accountable for actions.
Q2)Moreover wanted to ask mods….Ghamidi sahab talked about ashaab kahaf, I mean the boy who was killed by the person whom some people think is “khidr”. The way I see it is the boy still hasnt comitted sin, so why is it said that it was feaered he would go astray. Javed Sahab says hidayat gumrahee aik qanoon kai mutabiq hotee. Can someone tell me is the boy baligh or not. If not then how can we claim that Allah would have made him gumrah based on his deeds. Ghamidi sahab I believe answered this in an “ilm o hikmat video” but I cant find that particular video. However here, in the case of the narration the words are clearly about the fate of unborn kids. (Assuming the prophet did say something along the lines of what was reported) So we cant even claim then that the child deserved heaven or hell based on Amal, since he hasnt even reached Shaoor. Hope mods can help us inshaAllah
