May I answer your questions with my basic knowledge as a Muslim?
First, yes, we do mention hell. Islam works on encouragement and intimidation, and hell is mentioned just as it mentions heaven. Of course, a child killer and a righteous person who has never killed an ant in his life won't BOTH enter heaven , right?
And for the sake of addition, our source of information as Muslims is the Quran and what the Prophet said, and I don’t know if you know, but the Quran is the only heavenly book that has not been actually distorted. You can search anywhere and you won't find “two editions” of the Quran or anything like that, unlike the Bible, for example, you will find the Gospel of Luke, the Gospel of John, etc. What I want to get across is, there is no wrong understanding of the Quran, scholars have worked hard to interpret it correctly throughout time.
Also, what was said about the person who has the face of a sinner is wrong information. There is no such thing in Islam. Sinners are tormented according to the sins they committed in life.
To answer your last question, the torment of Hellfire is truly upon the soul and the body, and it feels it and suffers the utmost pain. it is recreated as it was in this world, flesh, and is recreated as a complete body and soul. So the body that obeyed God is blessed with the soul, and the body that disobeyed God is tormented with the soul. Both are restored, the body and the soul, to bliss and torment - together.
My apologies for bothering you again.. and I hope you benefited from what I said.

ahh , may i interrupt you both a little ?
i was reading game reviews - a bad habit of mine - and saw this talk , i can't help but comment !
as a muslim myself , i want to correct a few things ,
you are right , hell is a place where sinners suffer physically and spiritually , There is a punishment for every sin you have committed - and have not repented for, of course - but, your tongue won't be "pulled out/hammered with iron nails/cut off " for a lie for example , those who commit suicide won't repeat their moment of death in a loop .. yeah , the sinner will get punished but the punishments mentioned by the Qur’an or the Prophet Muhammad, and again , the repentant will not be tormented for his/her sin .
yeah , there are seven levels of hell, each level depends on how bad the sinner is, and the further you go down, the more severe the torment becomes.
but let me correct you for the last time and say , no ,the one who is being tortured in hell won't have someone who has his/ her face and tortures him / her.
And one last thing , on islam , allah (god) didn't "bid" the devil to torture sinners .. God punishes those who follow Satan and commit sins in this life, and God has promised Satan and those who follow him among humans a painful punishment in the afterlife.
Excuse me again for my boring talk, but I couldn't control myself when I saw the wrong information that others believe about Islam.
