If Allah is merciful why did He create people destined for *?
Well, if the person is a Muslim, then the answer is we don't ask
Allah why he did something. Secondly, one can be merciful
while having justice. Having justice does not negate you being
merciful. When you disbelieve in God, you plan to disbelieve
forever. Therefore the punishment is forever when you believe in
God, but you committed sins, your sins are temporary, therefore your
punishment will be temporary, and you may be forgiven. And Allah
deemed that this is what justice is. Now the next question is no,
how is it a person is a Catholic for 50 years and I go to hellfire
eternally because you intended to disbelieve eternally what you do
in this life is what you would have done if you lived eternal you
can't have a test that's eternal. Okay, fine. I get that. But why
eternal hellfire? Why not let them burn for 1000 years, then go?
Listen, do you know better than Allah? You don't know better than
him. You don't have more mercy than him. So wait a second. You
did good deeds for 60 years. You never had a problem with being in
paradise eternally. Why?
