Allāh ﷻ blessed every child with the natural ability and courage to accept the religion of Islam; but this child was going to be the opposite of his natural ability, as he would grow into an adult and he would reach the responsible age, he was going to choose disbelief. Because Allāh's Knowledge is complete, therefore He ﷻ knew that the child would follow the path of disbelief after becoming an adult; but it did not mean at all that he was a disbeliever in childhood.
