Muslims believe that unfaithful Muslims not true to their religion will be punished in Jahannam, but will eventually be forgiven. As for non Muslims as for Muslims; no one knows who will go to heaven. Even the prophet's companions had only been promised, but not definitely granted (as used in wording). For as stated before, God only knows who will go to Jahannam and who will go to Jannah.

Zaqqum is a thorned tree that grows in Jahannam. It has bitter thorned fruit which the damned are compelled to eat so as to intensify their torment. Its fruits are shaped like devils' heads.

The Qur'an also states:

[3.117] The likeness of what they spend in the life of this world is as the likeness of wind in which is intense cold (that) smites the seed produce of a people who has done injustice to their souls and destroys it; and Allah is not unjust to them, but they are unjust to themselves.

Muslims and non-Muslims agree that the Qur'an is very descriptive of Hell. It is therefore emphasised by Muslims to have fear of the omnipotent as a way of cultivating piety and humility. For example, the second verse in chapter two of the Qur'an reads:

[2:2] "This is the book, there is no doubt in it. It is a guide for the God-fearing and pious."
