Harsh Punishment For The Denial Of Truth
Please see this discussion: Discussion 12723
Yes, I suppose it is just a hyperbole in the Qur’an. That perhaps Allah is highlighting how bad such crimes are that they probably do deserve eternal punishments but perhaps He did not mean it literally. Eternal punishment might just be a warning but perhaps never a reality. And when it is a reality, I’m sure Allah will be able to justify it. However, it seems brother Faisal advises against intuitions/nagging feelings as you seen above. But if you were to accept answers based on intuitions then those non-Muslims raising objections against Allah’s concept of justice are just as valid as your answer, is it not? Because they won’t accept Allah as Just now based on their intuition.
