Title: Child Death in Accident Question: Recently I have lost my 1year and 11 month son in car accident in front of eyes. I want to know is this type of death is preplanned by Allah or it happen by our mistake. What they do (child) up with Allah, they are happy there? Please tell me every thing about I am so much upset Answer: The death of your child was known to God, in His Hands are the events in the world. God has given us life to live and sometimes life throws us around unexpectedly. However in this case it is one of the hardest things one can go through. Death is infinite distance from our loved ones. Yet we can still keep them close, so long as they remain with us in our hearts and minds. Nothing I can say may soothe your heart but the most important thing is remember the Lord is Ever-Loving. In Islam children are pure. Dying at such a young age can only lead to the gates of Heaven. The innocence of the baby will bring him to the Almighty; a reward we cannot even imagine in this life. Happiness is too small of an expression for the experiences of Heaven. Though I could never tell you exactly what is going on over there I can say with great confidence that your son is smiling. He is where we all wish to be; in the radiance of the Almighty. Nothing on this earth could make him as happy as he is right now. I can understand your sadness but at least allow yourself a breath of relief because you know he is in a better place. Pray to your Lord and be thankful for everything. One day, insha'Allah , you may get to see your son and smile with him. I hope I have clarified the issue. God knows best. Ronnie Hassan March 10, 2005
