All Boru wants to know is whether allah could be or should be merciful, and return the hand of a person falsely accused, convicted in error, and sentenced to mutilation for a crime they did not commit.

I would also like to ask about the prisoner who went to jail for years mistakenly. 
Though their hand is coming back to them in the afterlife.

Yes.  Yes!  Him too.  Could god or should god be merciful and return them to their youth?

They will return in the afterlife wholly and fully.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

You're aware that no one is asking you about what happens in heaven, correct? Could I fairly state that your answer to the question of whether god could or should be merciful and heal amputees wrongly convicted, or return people to their youth, is no.

When you take away an innocent man’s freedom, you can restore it to him. You can compensate him financially. A prison sentence for theft (generally) has an end. Mutilation is for life. A wrongly convicted 25 year old man, under your savage system, is punished for the next 50 - 60 years for a crime he didn’t commit.

What price a hand?

Just like the years taken from an inmate in prison; hands are just like years: they don't grow back.

How about the good little Muslim kid whose hand is blown off by some American imperial scum™?

Yeah, the devil is the one who distributed explosive toys in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation.

"If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” (John 15:7)

And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen.” (Matthew 21:21)

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24)

“If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:14)

“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” (Matthew 21:22)

Obviously, there is no omnipotent, omnibenevolent God watching over amputees, or anyone else for that matter.  Dodgy

Is it wrong for an amputee to pray for such a healing?  By the way, I will convert to Christianity (or, whatever religion the healed person claims to believe in) today if such a bonafide miracle can be documented this day.

what if he does through grafting cloned biological material or through the use of robotics? or are you a dark age follower of God and God must 'magic' you arm back on?

Maybe your weak false god can't but mine can.
