Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters
My brother has autism and he's non-verbal, he requires 24/7 day support since he is still unable to take care of himself. He's now 15 year old but has the mentality of a 4 or 6 year old, he never performed any prayers let alone saying the shada. This has been bothering me for a long time because I have yet to found any rulings in Islam for someone like my brother, I'm really worried about my brother future especially in the afterlife, if someone has any knowledge about this please I'd like to hear it...
Jabir bin 'Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:'A slave (of Allah) shall not believe until he believes in Al-Qadar, its good and its bad, such that he knows that what struck him would not have missed him, and that what missed him would not have struck him." (Jami 'at Tirmidhi)

Do not worry. Islam is all about ease and not oppression. Alhamdulillah. Please support your family as much as you can. Maube this will be your ticket to jannah insha Allah!!
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.
Re: What will Happen to Someone With Autism or Intellectual Disability In the Hereaft
I am a fairly new revert. My understanding is that as everyone is Muslim by default, and that if someone is unable to meet the demands by no fault or intent of their own they are spiritually safe and innocent. Actually careing for such people give great benefits to those who provide this. Could someone please quote the relevant verses on this?
