Surah 18 · Juz 16
Al-Kahf · 18:80
وَأَمَّا الْغُلَامُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَا أَنْ يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَانًا وَكُفْرًا
(80) And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.
Tafsir
80. As for the boy you criticised me for killing, his parents were believers but he was an unbeliever according to Allah’s knowledge. So I feared that if he grew up, he would cause them to disbelieve in Allah out of their intense love for him or their intense need towards him.
