No. If you become a true Muslim with a good intention then Muslims believe you will go to Heaven. But that's only if you follow the 5 Pillars of Islam and Prophet Muhammad (saw)'s teachings.

_____

If you suddenly convert to Islam and then just die before you can learn, you still go heavens.

That is what Muslims believe, Christians believe that unless you confess Jesus as lord of your life (Muslims accept him as a prophet) and repent(say sorry for all the bad things you have done and move away from what is causing you to do such things) and be baptised, then you will go to hell.

Misconception: Must be "Muslim" or you will go to Hell

Background: Some think that a person must be a Muslim to enter paradise/heaven, and if not, they will go to Hell once they die.

The Quran repeatedly states the criteria for success as monotheism, recognition of accountability and being righteous:

Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Nazarenes*, and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear upon them, nor shall they grieve. [2:62]

Those who believe, and those who are Jewish, and the Sabiens, and the Nazarenes*; whoever of them believes in God and the Last Day and does good works, then they will have nothing to fear nor will they grieve. [5:69]

*commonly translated as "Christians" but more likely refers to the followers of Jesus of Nazareth, hence Nazarenes.

The Quran also states that there are some of "the people of the book" (i.e. followers of previous revelations) that are righteous and will be rewarded:

And if the followers of the Book had believed and guarded (against evil) We would certainly have covered their sins and We would certainly have made them enter gardens of bliss.

And if they had observed the taurat* and the injeel* and that which was revealed to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from above and beneath them, there is a party of them keeping to the moderate course, and (as for) most of them, evil is that which they do.

[5:65-66]

*commonly translated as Torah and Gospels respectively.

They are not all alike; of the followers of the Book there is an upright party; they recite God's communications in the night and they adore (Him).

They believe in God and the last day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong and they strive with one another in good deeds. These are of the righteous.

And whatever good they do, they shall not be denied it, and God knows those who are forethoughtful.

[3:113-115]

Is it true that Allah grants you all of your wishes before you die?

I don't know if that is necessarily true but this is what I know. To a Muslim, this life is like prison and paradise to us is freedom. To us Muslims this life we live right now is a test. If we pass we go on to Paradise and if we don't we go to the Hell Fire. For a Non-Muslim this life is Paradise but the after-life for them is Prison.

Will a Muslim child be sent to Hell?

Muslim ViewNo child who ever (Muslim or non Muslim) will go to hell if the child dies before he/she is mature. he/she will go to heaven as none of their actions would be accounted. After being mature; whether they will go to Hell or to heaven (Paradise) of course depends on their believes (most important of them is the belief in God as one and only one God with no partner, no associate, and no equivalence) and on their deeds and commitment to God commands for what to do and what not to do.. Christians ViewMany Christians believe that not a single person can enter the gates of heaven without being baptized, not even an infant. If the parents don't accept Jesus and baptize him or her, the child will go straight to hell, and anyone that does not agree is going against the word of GOD and will surely got to hell themselves.
