Why will God punish anyone ?

? "Some say " Why will God punish anyone ? Can't he just forgive ? Why does he like to revenge

:I say Imagine the following scenario
God creates humans for them to follow His will, some don't , so he sends messengers with messages to guide them back

Messenger : Follow God's command
?Person : Why do ? He will forgive us anyway ! Would'nt He
Messeneger: Yes, I guess so , OK fine, you are free

I am not implying that God's punishment is just a motive to fear and succumb

But one of God's names is 'Al-Aziz' or "The High Valued" . God's pleasure has its value in terms of reward, and God's anger has its value in terms of punishment, otherwise, He will be – to many people–is of no value

A short fictional story

This is a short fictional story

She sat down, her face over her palms, as the father gazed emptily through the hospital's room window, in deep silence, only to be cracked by the soft sounds of weep and the sight of tears.

It has been some time since the incident. Their son was a normal teenager, with strikingly benevolent character, who woke up one day with lost interest in everything. When his mom entered his room, he was sitting on the bed, staring at the window.
"You're late for school"-
Mom-
Yes, dear-

I just saw God's paradise and hell in my dream-

He maintained his daily activities, but with no interest. He almost stopped talking. It was hard for his parents to see their previously ambitious child lose zeal in everything. They tried everything to stimulate him

The chocolate candy that he used to save money for as he envisioned the moment of consumption, watered his mouth no more. His high school's Miss Pageant that he admittedly "dreamed about" , didn't move him when his parents requested her to come for a therapeutic visit. "Alright, we will pay for Harvard" didn't add to his empty smile. It was hopeless to excite him in any manner. Their son's soul was far, far away from terrestrial earth.

Verily, if you knew what I know you would laugh less and weep more, and you would go out to the hills hitting your chests and making petition to your Lord
Muhammad, The Messenger of God
