Two Questions On The Most Merciful
Assalam Alaikum,
1) Why is the word “most” used when there is no comparison? meaning, God is most/more Merciful than who? there is no other god to compare with, and comparing with His creations doesn’t make sense. Is this an accurate translation?
2) How is it possible that the Most Merciful God throws (some of) His creation into Hell eternally for not believing while He was unseen to them? especially when He was seen to Iblees, then His creation (Iblees) had the audacity to disobey Him in front of Him. My question is: (a) Isn’t this an unfair expectation from humans who use their given intellect to reach a wrong conclusion? when a similar creation knew exactly who God was couldn’t bother to be obedient in front of Him? and (b) Doesn’t this punishment defy (tend to negate) His Most Merciful attribute?
Sorry about such questions, I have no where else to ask these questions or expect to get a genuine/reasonable answer than this platform.
jazakAllah khair!
