My biggest regret for being an athiest/agnostic

1. You are wrong about eternal punishment. You may be confused by non-Muslim concepts.

Here are examples of the Islamic concept:

Surah 78:21-23

[On that Day,] verily, hell will lie in wait [for those who deny the truth] - A goal for all who are wont to transgress the bounds of what is right. In it they shall remain for a long time.

Surah 6:128

…] He will say: ‘The fire shall be your abode, therein to abide- unless God wills it otherwise.’

These do not convey the meaning of perpetuity, do they?

I think your misunderstanding is with the word ‘khaalidoon’ - have you studied this matter at all? If not, I recommend that you do.

In urdu translation I have come across the word “hamesha” meaning forever. You’re the only Muslim whos claiming hell isn’t eternal. OFcourse many people will only spend sometime in Hell but people who reject Him and Satan will spend eternity in Hell.

• The doom will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein disdained forever"[Quran 25:68]*

Isn’t Satan supposed to be in Hell forever? I doubt Allah made eternal Hell just for Satan.

2. There is no word to describe the opposite of finite except INfinite.

Finite refers to things that we can comprehend because it is limited (we can investigate the bounds and characteristics of finite things).

So infinite is?

It’s an admission of the limitation of human thought.

Why does the unlimited God expect limited minds to believe in Him when they clearly don’t understand the concept of unlimited?

Infinite is our term of reference for whatever is outside our understanding.

God is unlimited, we don’t understand unlimited, but we have to still believe in Him or suffer His wrath?
That really doesn’t sound divine.

Ps - Heaven is eternal.

Heaven is eternal but Hell isn’t? How come?
