Answer

In the name of All?h, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assal?mu ?alaykum wa Rahmatull?hi Wabarak?tuh

1)? Rasulullah (sallall?hu alaihi wasallam) has mentioned

Qiy?mah will take place upon the worst and most wretched of Allah?s creation.

(Sahih Muslim, Vol.2, Pg406, Rash?diyyah)^[1]

Prior to Qiy?mah taking place, Allah Ta?ala will send a gentle breeze. It will not leave a single person who possesses an iota of Im?n in his heart except that his soul will be taken. Thereafter, the most wretched people will remain and Qiy?mah will take place upon them.

(Sahih Muslim, Vol.2, Pg144, Rash?diyyah)^[2]

2) It is Sunnah to do Tahn?k for a new born child. The method of Making Tahn?k is by chewing a piece of date, making it soft into a paste and to place it on the palate of the new born child. If dry dates are not available, then fresh dates, otherwise, with honey or something sweet. Rasulullah (sallall?hu alaihi wasallam) did Tahn?k for Abdullah ibn Abi Talha and Abdullah ibn Zubair (radiyallahu anhuma).

(?Umdatul Q?ri, Vol.21, Pg.83, Rash?diyyah)^[3]

The Tahn?k can be done by anyone. However, it is preferable to take the child to a pious scholar etc to do the Tahn?k. It is hoped through the Barakah (blessings) that the saliva of the pious scholar was the first thing that entered the child?s mouth, Allah will favour this child to grow up pious and obedient. In no way does this mean that, if a sinful person did the Tahn?k, the child will grow up to be disobedient.

(?Umdatul Q?ri, Vol.21, Pg.84, Rash?diyyah)^[4]

And All?h Ta??la Knows Best
Wassal?mu ?alaykum
