Even though you can say oh i read the bible that means i know the quran that would be the understatement of the decade as their is enough in both books
to make them different altogether. In the christian bible hell is temporary even the people who didn't believe and or atheists get they get into heaven
the quran they don't get such a treatment. But yeah using hell as a determent is a dangerous idea itself. And even then heaven itself has its frightening parts.
The word "eternal" was a topic of confusion for me in Islamic literature, to be honest.
It is mentioned explicitly that a second death is coming, following the verse:
Sura 40
( 11 ) They will say, "Our Lord, You made us lifeless twice and gave us life twice, and we have confessed our sins. So is there to an exit (from hell) any way?"
That is what shocked me in the biblical verses. The speak about the second death in hell, just like the verse above speaks about that second death; too.
I see it more like a...type of consistency in revelation? Mohammed peace be upon him, was sent by the same lord that of Jesus's peace be upon him.
