The concept of hell not found in the Old Testament and is poorly defined in the New. But the Quran is crystal clear about hell. It is a place where all non-Muslims will be tormented after they die.

Here is what the Quran says about hell.

Disbelievers will be burned in a fire. When their skins are burned off, Allah will replace them with fresh skins, to they may taste the torment.

Lo! Those who disbelieve Our revelations, We shall expose them to the Fire. As often as their skins are consumed We shall exchange them for fresh skins that they may taste the torment. Quran 4:56.

They will want to come out of the fire, but they won't be able to.

They will wish to come forth from the Fire, but they will not come forth from it. Theirs will be a lasting doom. 5:37

But Allah will provide them with a drink of water -- boiling water, that is.

For them is drink of boiling water and a painful doom, because they disbelieved. 6:70

Those who are immortal in the Fire and are given boiling water to drink so that it teareth their bowels. 47:15

Those in hell will ask those in heaven to pour water on them, but they will refuse.

And the dwellers of the Fire cry out unto the dwellers of the Garden: Pour on us some water or some wherewith Allah hath provided you. They say: Lo! Allah hath forbidden both to disbelievers (in His guidance). 7:50

The angels will welcome disbelievers into hell by smiting their faces and backs, while saying, "Taste the punishment of burning!"

If thou couldst see how the angels receive those who disbelieve, smiting faces and their backs and (saying): Taste the punishment of burning! 8:50

Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs! 47:27

When they are burning in the fires of hell, they will have their foreheads, sides, and backs branded.

On the day when it will (all) be heated in the fire of hell, and their foreheads and their flanks and their backs will be branded. 9:35

They are forced to drink foul-tasting water, which they can hardly swallow. Death comes to them on every side, yet they cannot die.

Hell is before him, and he is made to drink a festering water, Which he sippeth but can hardly swallow, and death cometh unto him from every side while yet he cannot die, and before him is a harsh doom. 14:16-17

They will be chained together, with clothes of tar and fire covering their faces.

Thou wilt see the guilty on that day linked together in chains, Their raiment of pitch, and the Fire covering their faces. 14:49-50

They will be blind, dumb, and deaf on the day of Resurrection. Allah will increase the flames for them because they disbelieved his revelations.

We shall assemble them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; their habitation will be hell; whenever it abateth, We increase the flame for them. That is their reward because they disbelieved Our revelations. 17:97-98

When they ask for showers, Allah will shower them with molten lead.

Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers Fire. Its tent encloseth them. If they ask for showers, they will be showered with water like to molten lead which burneth the faces. Calamitous the drink and ill the resting-place! 18:29

They will see the fire and know they are about to fall in, with no way to escape.

The guilty behold the Fire and know that they are about to fall therein, and they find no way of escape thence. 18:53

They will not be able to get the fire off their face and backs, and they will not be helped!

If those who disbelieved but knew the time when they will not be able to drive off the fire from their faces and from their backs, and they will not be helped! 21:29

They will be clothed with fire, boiling fluid will be poured on their heads, their bellies and skin will be melted, and they will be suspended from hooks of iron.

But as for those who disbelieve, garments of fire will be cut out for them; boiling fluid will be poured down on their heads, Whereby that which is in their bellies, and their skins too, will be melted; And for them are hooked rods of iron. Whenever, in their anguish, they would go forth from thence they are driven back therein and (it is said unto them): Taste the doom of burning. 22:19-22

Fire will burn their faces, and they will be sad.

The fire burneth their faces, and they are glum therein. 23:104

Those who denied the existence of hell will see and hear the roaring flame. They will be chained together, while they pray for death.

For those who deny (the coming of) the Hour We have prepared a flame. When it seeth them from afar, they hear the crackling and the roar thereof. And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they pray for destruction there. 25:11-13

They will gnaw on their own hands and say, "I wish I have followed the messenger of Allah."

It will be a hard day for disbelievers. On the day when the wrong-doer gnaweth his hands, he will say: Ah, would that I had chosen a way together with the messenger (of Allah)! 25:26-27

Disbelievers will be burned in the fire. They will beg Allah to be released, but he will refuse, and they will have no helper.

But as for those who disbelieve, for them is fire of hell; it taketh not complete effect upon them so that they can die, nor is its torment lightened for them. Thus We punish every ingrate. And they cry for help there, (saying): Our Lord! Release us; we will do right, not (the wrong) that we used to do. ... Now taste (the flavour of your deeds), for evil-doers have no helper. 35:36-37

They will beg the guards to ask Allah to stop the torment, but their prayers will be in vain.

Those in the Fire say unto the guards of hell: Entreat your Lord that He relieve us of a day of the torment ... although the prayer of disbelievers is in vain. 40:49-50

Those who denied the scriptures will be dragged in chains through boiling water. Then they'll be thrown into the fire.

Those who deny the Scripture and that wherewith We send Our messengers. But they will come to know, When carcans are about their necks and chains. They are dragged Through boiling waters; then they are thrust into the Fire. 40:70-72

They will be forced to eat the fruit from the tree of Zaqqum. Like molten brass, it will burn their bellies. Then boiling water will be poured on their heads.

Lo! the tree of Zaqqum, The food of the sinner! Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies As the seething of boiling water. (And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell, Then pour upon his head the torment of boiling water. 44:43-48
