What would Allah do to punish someone who disobeys him?

Answer 1

Answer: Firstly, there is a difference between disobedience and polytheism (which is worshipping more than just God). Polytheism is not forgiven - unless a person repents from polytheism before he or she has died. Disobedience, in the form of sins, may be forgiven or not. If a person commits many big sins, but repents, then he or she will be forgiven ( as long as there is no polytheism like worshipping Jesus or Buddha, etc. ). If a person worships ONLY GOD, then God will accept repentance. The point here is that everything around us is proof that God is ONLY ONE GOD. He is far greater than Buddha, Moses, Muhammad or even Jesus. Now, if a person commits sins, believes in the Oneness of God, but does not repent, then on the Day of Judgement God may punish him or her or He may forgive him or her. God does not benefit from punishing us. God is the Most Merciful. If you believe in the Creator - even if your sins are many - repent to Him. He has promised to forgive.

Answer 1

Allah Almighty is the Most Merciful, Most Beneficent, Oft-Forgiving. He doesn't wish to punish anybody. We are His creation. Why should He punish His own creation? The simple condition is that we Must believe in Him. We must worship ONLY HIM and HIM alone. He alone deserves worship. He is the sole Creator, Sustainer and Ruler of all the worlds He has created. He has no off-spring, no parents and no partner.

If some one believes in Him like this and believes in the FIVE pillars of Islam, he is expected to be forgiven provided he sincerely repents. Tears of repentance and remorse wash away sins and disobedience.

For those who are Atheists, there are 2 types of how Allah treats Atheists before they stand upon Him: the Good kind of Atheists are those who do good in life, be nice to one and another will be treated good during their first life, the life in here. While I don't know about what happens in the after-life, Allah might punish them for not believing in him OR as some Muslim people who do a medium amount of sins, punish them in hell for an amount of time and then send them to heaven, to punish them for their mistakes (without asking Allah for forgiveness) and reward them with Heaven for the good deeds they did.. And the second type of Atheists who do bad and don't want to believe in Allah MIGHT (Only Allah knows what's going to happen to them in hell) punish them in Hell.

But for Good Atheists there's some controversy about it, since the basis of believing in Allah is missing which is a huge thing. For example, if you're a Muslim and you decide to make a charity company, but use the money gained from charity to personal benefit instead of spending them on the needy, you will NOT be rewarded as the reason for making the charity serves no good. Same thing for atheists, you're doing good but the purpose behind it is no good.

At last, Allah only knows the truth.

Answer 2

The Qur'an and the Hadith are quite clear on this point. Those who disobey the will of God will be punished in eternal torment and hellfire. Contrary to Answer 1, I am unaware of any circumstance in which an Atheist, Polytheist, or Kafir (Unbeliever) of any variety can enter Jinna (Paradise). Hell in Islam is very similar to hell in Christianity and promotes the worst kinds of pain and torture.

Additionally, believers (Muslims, Christians, and Jews) who commit sins and do not seek clemency or perform repentance are also subject to being thrown in the hellfire with the others. However, these groups have the opportunity to "work off their sins" and have a possibility of escaping eternal torture.
