Do the people who go to hell have the ability to watch over loved ones who are still alive?
Amina Inloes

According of what is understood about the afterlife from the Qur'an and hadith, people do not go to the final heaven or hell until after the entire world ends. Prior to that they spend their time in the barzakh. 

There are parts of the barzakh which resemble heaven or hell and it seems that those who are confined in the more hell-like area would have less flexibility to visit to the living, as the opportunity to do so is sometimes said to be in proportion to one's faith. Perhaps they will lack the spiritual strength to do so, or perhaps they will be concerned with themselves, or perhaps they are kept away from other creations so as not to cause harm.

I met someone who is interested in converting to Islam. She is a Christian Orthodox and is scared to convert because their religion says that they will go to hell if they do. How can I reassure her that Islam is the truth and help her learn more?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Real Christians are those who follow the real teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ gave the good news of the Messenger after him who is called Ahmad. Old bibles have this fact despite changes made many to hide it in other versions of bible.

Islam is the real message from God Almighty which is sent to all human beings. Jesus Christ wants people to follow the message of God. More details can found in many specialised websites. If she has specific questions she is welcome to write.

Is a person who commits suicide sent to eternal torture in hell? If so, why would Allah give them so much pain in this world that they become suicidal and then torture them in the next world for it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah (SWT) never gives pain to any one to make him suicidal, but He grants continuous bounties and orders Justice and fairness. Remembering Allah (SWT) is the origin and the source of peace of mind.  People suffer when they go away from the justice, fairness and neglect remembering Allah. Sufferings of people is the result of their own bad deeds.
Suicide is a major sin because it come as a result losing hope in Allah's mercy as well as sinful killing. Mercy of Allah is greater than any problem, and no problems whatsoever gig or complicated can be bigger than Mercy of Allah.

Wassalam.
