Is Allah a tyrant?

There are certain things in Islam that I don't fully agree with or find difficult to accept, simply because they defy logic and may appear at times too cruel and makes Allah a tyrant God.. for example: **People to whom the true message hasn't reached, will burn in hell.** Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib > Khadijah asked Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) about her children > who had died in the days of ignorance. Thereupon Allah's Messenger > (peace be upon him) said: They are in Hell Fire, and when he saw the > sign of disgust on her face, he said: If you were to see their station > you would hate them. She said: Allah's Messenger, what about my child > that was born of your loins? He said: It is in Paradise. Then Allah's > Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Verily the believers and their > children will be in Paradise and the polytheists and their children in > the Hell Fire. Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) then recited this > verse: `And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in faith > We unite with them their offspring and I shall deprive them of naught > in their work.' > **Al-Tirmidhi 117** This is just one of the many hadiths that I personally find really troubling... There are other hadiths which suggests, the polytheists' daughters who were buried alive in the reign of ignorance will also burn in hell. To make my point more stronger let me quote another hadiths which suggests the same fate for people with same circumstances. Narrated Anas: > A man asked : where is my father, Messenger of Allah? He replied! Your > father is in Hell. When he turned his back, he said : My father and > your father are in Hell. > > Sunan Abi Dawud 4718 Even the prophet's father I-e Abdullah seems to burn in hell. I think its very cruel not to allow people to be given a chance to choose right from wrong and then condemn them to hell for being polytheists. By these accords, people in hell will outnumber those in paradise by a huge proportion, simply because they were unlucky to be born to non believers and not able to grow old to change their faith. Even though Mohammad pbuh himself was a polytheist at first and became a monotheist later exclusively because of the intervention made into his life by God. Has he been killed in his juvenile days or buried alive like the girls, he too would have been destined to go to hell as per these hadiths. I personally find these hadiths very repulsive and cruel but may be I am wrong and the Quran might have a better more logical explanation to prove me wrong. If you know anything please explain.
