Muslims, if your child becomes a hafiz, do you get sure entry to heaven?

[badger]

About a decade ago a Muslim household in Cardiff, Wales, UK were so frustrated that their small child could not remember verses from the Qu 'run that they beat him, until one day he died. To cover this murder they burned their house down but were both caught, convicted and punished.

Obviously that is nothing to do with the tenets or ways of Islam, but it happened.

At that time there were Islamic schools (madrassas?) in the UK where children were punished quite if they could not remember their studies, and investigators discovered several kinds of punishments which I feel sure have since been stopped. Madrassas and all other schools have to follow a strict lesson plan as delivered to all British children.

These situations led to questions such as 'Do the Muslim parents of Hafiz children get automatic entry in to heaven?' and could this cause some parents to push their children too harshly in attempts to make them learn?

So that is my question...........

Wow, what a crime story. And a great question.
I guess nobody had an answer...

You dont go to heaven based on what someone else has done, but purely because of 1.) what you are, and 2.) what you have done for the sake of others.

This is correct.

When I was a kid in Nevada corporal (beating, spanking, hazing) punishment was legal. The paddles were proudly hung (and utilized) in the principals office. The teachers only slapped, used rulers, made us right (I will not whatever) a hundred times on the chalkboard after school, or drew a circle on the board to put your nose in while you stood on tip toes...or made you hold books in outstretched arms like Christ on the cross... any real punishment was delivered down the hall.

Yeah... I was a frequent flyer.

Damn.
When I was in 6th grade, they had a corporal punishment policy introduced (New York State, early 1980s)
Only the boys would be paddled (sexism cuts both ways)
I don't really remember the outcome of it.
I guess couple of the routine troublemakers got paddled, but then after awhile you didn't hear any more about it.
