Is it permissible to teach children the idea that death is the completion of building their home in Paradise, and that an angel takes them to this home while they are asleep, with the possibility of requesting their favorite toys to be with them in Paradise, and that Allah Almighty, "there is nothing like unto Him," will be seen in Paradise, and that He sees and hears us everywhere?
Children should be raised in a way that pleases Allah Almighty, while being careful not to speak about Him without knowledge, as this is forbidden. The delights of Paradise can be described to children based on the texts. However, how one goes to Paradise should not be delved into except with what has been stated in the . For whoever is righteous and performs good deeds, Allah will grant them Paradise, and the believer will be inspired about the location of their home within it. Instead of linking the speed of going to Paradise with good deeds, it is better to link the improvement of one's home (in Paradise) with good deeds, and to inform them that they will have whatever they desire in Paradise.
