Salaam salaam,
How do you reconcile the issue of hell? Considering that according to the viewpoint many good people will go to hell just for lacking belief how will you be able to deal with that?
Take for example, what if your parents went to hell for simply not believing. This was one of my biggest fears.
In al-Qur'an surat al-Mutaf'fifin ayah 34-35 read "So, today those who believed will laugh at the disbelievers. While sitting on thrones, they will be seeing".
This sounds highly sadistic to me and portrays an act of mercilessness considering that god could have guided a person to himself if he wanted to. I have actually never seen the issue of hell addressed in any positive light in Islam. Christianity has dealt with this while I have heard of no true justice being served in Jahannam in the case of Islam
W/Salaam . I like to share a discussion which I had with one of my friends in the forum . Check it may have relevance with your inquiry :
[002:281] And fear the Day when ye shall be brought back to God. Then shall every soul be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly.
[003:025] But how (will they fare) when we gather them together against a day about which there is no doubt, and each soul will be paid out just what it has earned, without (favour or) injustice?
[006:160] He that doeth good shall have ten times as much to his credit: He that doeth evil shall only be recompensed according to his evil: no wrong shall be done unto (any of) them.
[010:054] Every soul that hath sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom: They would declare (their) repentance when they see the penalty: but the judgment between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.
Abstract : Almighty GOD recompenses people equitable as per their deeds
..(1)
[023:099] (In Falsehood will they be) Until, when death comes to one of them, he says: "O my Lord! send me back (to life),-
[023:100] "In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." - "By no means! It is but a word he says."- Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.
[023:101] Then when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no more relationships between them that Day, nor will one ask after another!
Abstract : Some people would do evil again n again if they would send back to earth for another chance
(2)
[006:128] And on the Day when He will gather them (all) together (and say): "O you assembly of jinns! Many did you mislead of men," and their Auliya (friends and helpers, etc.) amongst men will say: "Our Lord! We benefited one from the other, but now we have reached our appointed term which You did appoint for us." He will say: "The Fire be your dwelling place, you will dwell therein forever, except as Allah may will. Certainly your Lord is AllWise, AllKnowing."
[6:129] We thus match the wicked to be companions of each other, as a punishment for their transgressions.
[011:106] So as to those who are unhappy, they shall be in the fire; for them shall be sighing and groaning in it:
[011:107] Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; surely your Lord is the mighty doer of what He intends.
Abstract : Not all people will reside in hell forever , if GOD wants HE may can exempt some from hell
.(3)
Now if we put points (1) , (2) and (3) in one equation , we can see that people who intend to do limited sins will end up in hell for limited time and people who intend to do sins forever , they would end up in hell for ever .
