I understand that the Kufr (dis-believers) will be thrown into the hellfire.
But I have one question; why will Allah torture them for an eternity if he is merciful?

Eternal torture in the hell fire will last for thousands of years and beyond...that is a very long time, why will Allah torture them for so long?

I know there people who have done many bad things in this world and deserve the torture, but an eternity is an insanely long time for someone to endure. Islam is a peaceful religion but why should people endure such extreme and long amounts of torture?

Since the disbelievers reject Allah, thereby Allah rejects them. Allah attributes of mercy does not anymore apply tto them as they rejected Allah. If you say that they might show submission to Allah, then such person wouldnt be eternally in hell in the first place.

A peaceful religion requires law and peace being maintained in society. And that requires putting evil doers under the force of law. If in our world people get life sentence in prison, why not life sentence in hell?
