Hell (Hebrew: שאול, Shĕ'ol and גהינום, Gehennam; Greek: ᾍδης, Hadēs and Ταρταρόω, Tartaroō; Latin: Infernus; Arabic: جهنم, Jahánnam) is a place of torment and pain in the afterlife of many religions, particularly Christianity and Islam, which is reserved for those who deserve eternal punishment. In some religions (such as Catholicism and Islam) this can occur through lack of faith or lack of good works, while in most forms of Protestantism, hell is reserved for those who do not place their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior. Hell is described in the Bible as a "lake of fire" and of "brimstone" (Revelation 20:10) and is where Satan and his demons will be banished for all eternity when Jesus returns.
