Allah can't both for he did not sent anyone to die in man/woman place
If he is a merciful God, this means he'll have to let everyone into heaven and leave the sins go unpunished, no offence but that is corruption. My God isn't corrupt for he sent his Son (Jesus christ) to take the punishment that we deserve, all we have to do is accept him into our lives.
If he was a God of Justice, then he can't be a merciful God for he'll have to send everyone to hell, for all fall short of the glory of God, and we all deserve to go to hell. No offence, but if he was a loving God, he would've sent someone who hasn't sinned once in their life to take the punishment that we deserve like Jesus christ. My God did.

That website is AWESOME!! I visit there too and also see www.wayofthemaster.com ---
Allah is a FALSE God...as is Buddha and others who have been "man made"
The only True God is the God of Heaven and Earth- Jesus Christ- who bore our punishment and died on the cross, when it should of been US! See Romans 5:8
It is by HIS GRACE we have been saved, and not of works
See Ephesians 2:8
Nobody can work their way into heaven- It is by believing on Christ Jesus and what he did on the cross- Repenting of your sin and following him. He is the only way truth and life ( John 14:6)
Isaiah 44:8
Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one."

The idea that a God can't be both just and merciful is why I'm no longer a Christian. If He is a Just God he wouldn't have made laws that were impossible to follow, sending people to Hell for being exactly what he made them to be is not only not just, it is the vilest of Evil. Even the most evil of men did not sin eternally, it is therefor in no way just for him to be punished eternally. A just and merciful God would make laws that are within the capacity of people to obey, and if they fall short the punishment would be proportionate, which would mean it could be compassed eventually, and the penitent could eventually find salvation. It would never be "too late" to a Just God, if He can, indeed see into the truth of their heart", the Devil himself would have the opportunity of redemption if he genuinely abjured his crimes and returned to the path of righteousness. If it is true that you can judge a faith by the actions of it's adherents, then Christianity is the religion of the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Slave trade, the Salem Witch Hunts, and the Holocaust, all of which were openly sanctioned by the Churches of their time. For any Christian to claim the moral high ground over Islam is ignore the words of their supposed faith: "Judge not lest ye be judged" and "Remove the log from your own eye, then look for the spec in thy brothers". Islam didn't need a scapegoat for there failures, Allah, being both just and merciful, expects only that each of His faithfull do the very best they can, that is all such a God would ask from such imperfect beings as humankind. Just for the record, I not Islamic either, but Pagan, I just can't abide truly faulty logic.

You are right that Mercy and Justice seem to contradict each other unless one understands the context. Let me give you an example:
You say I stole your watch, but that you have been merciful and forgiven me. I claim I did not steal your watch. You say regardless how does it matter, now that you are not pressing charges or even asking me to return it back, and you are being merciful. What you may not realize is by being merciful without giving justice first, you are in fact becoming unjust, let alone being merciful!!
Thus mercy can come only AFTER Justice establishes clearly that a wrong was done. There is no conflict between justice and mercy at all. Justice always MUST PRECEDE MERCY. Mercy may not always follow justice. When mercy follows Justice, it overpowers and overwhelms justice with its powers.
It is like the bottom of the sea before it is covered with sea water. Before the water covers all parts of the sea bottom, you could see the differences. Once it is filled, the deepest parts get more water and the surface of the sea is level.
I hope this makes sense. In our belief unless we ASK FOR MERCY, which is there for the asking, Allah will be just with us.
There is a famous prayer of the fourth Imam of the Muslims, Imam Ali bin Husain, who taught us to seek refuge from the JUSTICE of the LORD into His Mercy. He said it is like a child who is about to be punished by his mom, would run to the mom and wrap his arms around her, which spares him the punishment.
If you do not ask for mercy, then you get justice. YOu never get injustice from the Mighty ONe. I hope this puts things in context for you. The Lords mercy can always overpower the justice that comes before!!

"My God isn't corrupt for he sent his Son (Jesus Christ) to take the punishment that we deserve, all we have to do is accept him into our lives" quoting you!
YOU SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED ANOTHER EXAMPLE!
BECAUSE this means god is not merciful enough to his own son and he is not merciful enough to forgive Christians who believe in his son their sins with no punishments.
Merciful DOESN'T EQUAL "sent his Son (Jesus Christ) to take the punishment" it doesn't also synonym with not forgiving people their sins. (merciful but fogives conditionally?!)
and this example doesn't show God is just enough because he made only one man get the punishment of billions and billions of people!
(SAME LOGIC that says all serpents are punished for what only one of them did, who happens to be Satan not a serpent! all women are looked down on for what Christians think Eve did, luring Adam into eating from the forbidden tree, by the way Adam was old enough to know what's right and what's wrong, he was created before Eve was! and finally God is merciful and just because he sent his son to take the punishment for all people!)
I don't see your point! God is not corrupt and he is not merciful and unjust?! I can't accept that.

>>"Allah can't both for he did not sent anyone to die in man/woman place "<<
what a bizzare idea.
is not universal mercy, utterly just?
a person's actions are based on how they were made by god, and the descisions they make according to the circumstances God put them in. anything other than universal mercy, is Unjust.
theres no need for a sacrifice...
why would sins have to be "punished"? everyone makes mistakes.
can't you think of anything other than black and white?
YOUR god IS corrupt. the idea that someone could ever be punished in an infinite manner, for crimes committed in a mortal life, is profoundly, and impossibly unjust.
your beliefs are so entirely prejudiced, you are blinded utterly.
>>"Allah is a fake
I believe in Jesus Christ our saviour "
I'm Jewish, so let me turn your own phrasing against you.
Jesus is a fake.
I believe in God himself as our lord and salvation.

Allah is your god, Muslims and Christians believe in the same god. but the different is that Muslims believe that Jesus is not the son of god. We believe Allah has no son
I want you to know that god is so merciful, if a Muslim spent his life in good and charity activities, it wouldn't be enough for him to save him from hell. We all need mercy from god in order to go to heaven.
God of justice ofcourse, no one will be in hell instead of another person. Everyone get's what he deserves.
Goodluck

Allah was a moon god but Mohammid replaced it with Abraham's god and changed all kinds of things in the Bible to gain political control of Arabia. He was a murderer, rapist, thief, liar, false prophet, and has sex with a pre-teen girl

both
Merciful does not mean he must let everyone into heaven, it means if you sincerely repent he will forgive your sins. This only one aspect of Allah's mercy, there are others such as the rain
