    I have never heard anything about someone's name not being spoken in Islam. Maybe that is something that some Muslims believe in but it is not something that anyone I know follows.
    We bury the body as soon as possible and hold the funeral 40 days later.
    We believe that a body receives its soul about 120 days after conception. Any baby or child that dies after it has a soul will enter heaven.

    We do believe in hell but we also believe that Allah's mercy is such the hell will eventually be empty. You don't need to be a Muslim to go to heaven. The Quran is quite explicit about that.
