| Summary: | The issue of “everlasting torment in Hell for some wrongdoers” is rooted in Quran and Hadith. Such a torment for sins which a human did during their short life is unreasonable and is against the Quranic verses which emphasis on vast remission of sins by Allah. It is also against the verses which assign the likelihood of everlasting torment to Allah’s providence and will.
