How can God's justice and judgment be reconciled with the eternal damnation of sinners in Hell, knowing that human life in this world is short?
Disobedient believers will not remain eternally in Hell, and their fate is with Allah if they die without repentance. He may punish them and then release them through the intercession of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or He may forgive them directly, except for matters related to the rights of other people. As for disbelievers who received the call to Islam but did not believe, they will abide eternally in Hell. Allah's justice necessitates not equating them with monotheists, and even if they were returned to life, they would revert to their disbelief. Muslims should invite disbelievers and the disobedient to Islam and repentance.
