thumb|A depiction of Muhammad visiting Jahannam; artwork from [[Miraj Nameh]] In Islam, Jahannam () is the place of punishment for evildoers in the Akhirah / afterlife, or hell. This notion is an integral part of Islamic theology, and has occupied an important place in Muslim belief. The concept is often called by the proper name "Jahannam", but other names refer to hell and these are also often used as the names of different gates to hell. The term "Jahannam" itself is used not only for hell in general but (in one interpretation) for the uppermost layer of hell.

The importance of Hell in Islamic doctrine is that it is an essential element of the Day of Judgment, which is one of the six articles of faith In sunnism(belief in God, the angels, books, prophets, Day of Resurrection, and decree(which shia has disagreements with the last one)) "by which the Muslim faith is traditionally defined".
