Omnibenevolence
From Wikinfo
Omnibenevolence is the property of being perfectly good, attributed by some religions to God. The word omnibenevolence may be interpreted to mean perfectly just, all-loving, fully merciful, and so on, depending on precisely what is taken to be good.
Moslems like Christians and Jews need to explain how an infinitely compassionate God allows evil and why an infinitely compassionate and just God punishes souls eternally in Hell for finite wrongs.
