Hell is a silly idea. It comes, obviously, from human group think. That's an adolescent way of thinking that many adults never outgrow. (Your peers are the absolute it, everything is all or nothing, and everybody else has something wrong with them.)
In Buddhism, your question would be known as a Koan. It's like a riddle with no possible answer. That doesn't mean your question is foolish. Not by any means.
Koans are used to help teach. In the long run, the idea is to help people see the futility of wondering about things that nobody can really answer for sure. We all do this, it's our nature.

1 john 4:16
genesis 1:26-28
He created us out of love, a desire to share life, he doesn't need anything from us, after all he is complete and needs nothing from us, but he does enjoy sharing the joy of life he has. haven't you all been in a happy situation or watched a beautiful scene and wished someone you loved was there to share it with you?
and he never intended for us to die, that was the result of sin, that is why Jesus went through so much to redeem us from it. john 3:16
romans 6:7 says he who has died has been acquitted from his sins, if you die and then are burned in a fiery hell, isn't that like double jeapordy? Jehovah is a God of justice he would never punish someone by burning forever for a few years of sin, that is injust to do that. Satan is the one who wants people to turn away from him, he is the one who advocates such lies about God. He wants to turn people away and to curse God, that has been his primary motivation since he disobeyed in the garden of eden.
job 1-2 shows this to be the case. and finally when the israelites were burning their kids to molech (baal) Jehovah condemn saying this thing never came up into his heart, so the idea of burning someone never even came up into his heart.
while we suffer momentarily while alive now, it will be eliminated when matt 6:9-10 is finally answered.psalms 37 the whole chapter describes what he intends to do.

This is the way Gods propagate their species. Our earth life is just a small part of this development. There is no hell and no sin. Just mistakes or bad judgment that slows down a future God-child.

Allah creates us to know him
When we know Allah we worship him
When we worship Allah, we abstain to worship or fear any thing or any one else but Allah

Jehovah God made man in his image and likeness and he gave us a command to fill the earth and subdue it.
"Look! I Am Making All Things New" Published in 1986
Jehovah's Creations and Miracles
All of Jehovah's creation is miraculous and wonderful! However, his very first creation was the most marvelous of all. It was the creation of a spirit Son, his "firstborn." (Colossians 1:15) This heavenly Son was named "the Word." Countless ages after his creation, he came to this earth and was called the "man, Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5) Then it was said of him: "So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth."—John 1:14.
Colossians 1:15
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;
1 Timothy 2:5
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,
John 1:14
14 So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth.
In course of time, Jehovah created living, material things on this earth, the plants, the trees, the flowers, the fish, the birds, and the animals. (Genesis 1:11-13, 20-25) Then God said to his Master Worker: "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness . . . And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him; male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:26, 27) Being created in the image and likeness of God, with God's great attributes of love, wisdom, justice, and power, the original man was far superior to the animals. Man is in a class apart from the animals in that he is able to reason, he can plan for the future, and he has the capacity to worship God. Animals do not have intellect to reason with, but they live by instinct. How unreasonable it is to say that there is no Creator but that the richly endowed, intelligent creature man evolved upward from unintelligent lower animals!—Psalm 92:6, 7; 139:14.
Genesis 1:11-13
11 And God went on to say: “Let the earth cause grass to shoot forth, vegetation bearing seed, fruit trees yielding fruit according to their kinds, the seed of which is in it, upon the earth.” And it came to be so. 12 And the earth began to put forth grass, vegetation bearing seed according to its kind and trees yielding fruit, the seed of which is in it according to its kind. Then God saw that [it was] good. 13 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a third day.
Genesis 1:20-25
20 And God went on to say: “Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.” 21 And God proceeded to create the great sea monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. 22 With that God blessed them, saying: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the waters in the sea basins, and let the flying creatures become many in the earth.” 23 And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fifth day.
24 And God went on to say: “Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.” And it came to be so. 25 And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good.
Genesis 1:26, 27
26 And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.” 27 And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.
Psalm 92:6, 7
6 No unreasoning man himself can know [them],
And no one stupid can understand this.
7 When the wicked ones sprout as the vegetation
And all the practicers of what is hurtful blossom forth,
It is that they may be annihilated forever.
Psalm 139:14
14 I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful,
As my soul is very well aware.
More Scriptures:
Job 38:4
4 Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth?
Tell [me], if you do know understanding.
John 1:1-3
1 In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. 2 This one was in [the] beginning with God. 3 All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence. What has come into existence
