He defined the Islamic system to be applied in life, in order to guide people to him
the system will make life hard for non-followers
and make others afraid of doing bad
What does that have to do with god being mercifull?
If anything it means your god is a controlfreakish orwellian dictator.
Giving people a guidline to follow voluntarilaly to gain reward in a promissed afterlife, only to send out a gestapo to make this process non voluntarily.
plus: the inequality created by a system which treats different people as unequals and infirior makes your system even more rejectable and absolutly the oposite of "mercifull"
Quote:It is a test and challenge for Muslims, so they can be rewarded more for doing that.
If the rules are inforced then it is no longer a test but an obligation.
Thereby your god takes away the free will and right to self determination.
Your god is a hypocrit, who gives out guidelines to follow voluntarily only to then send out his gestapo (like mentioned above)
This entire thing simply shows how your god is a bundle of contradictions and therefor probably made up by humans.
