Transliteration:( Wa maa zalamnaahum wa laakin kaanoo humuz zaalimeen )
"And We never wronged them, but they themselves were unjust [133]."
This verse affirms that Allah never oppresses anyone; rather, it is people who bring destruction upon themselves through their own wrongdoing, such as rebellion, disobedience, and deliberate rejection of truth. The eternal punishment faced by disbelievers is not due to any injustice by Allah but is a consequence of their actions.
From this, scholars have derived that minor children of disbelievers—who died before reaching the age of understanding—will not be punished in Hell, as they did not commit injustice against themselves. This is in keeping with Divine justice and perfect mercy. Allah and His Beloved Prophet ﷺ know best.
