For those of you who've never read the Quran, let me summarize it for you: Allah has prepared a painful doom for those who disbelieve what he revealed in the Quran to his prophet Muhammad (peanut butter and jelly be upon him).
This idea is so important that Allah (or his prophet) repeats more than 200 times in the Quran. Here are just a few variants.
For disbelievers is a painful doom. 2:104Those who disbelieve the revelations of Allah ... promise them a painful doom. 3:21
Give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom to those who disbelieve. 9:3
Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom. 9:61
Theirs will be a boiling drink and painful doom because they disbelieved. 10:4
And that's just a sample of the 60 verses in the Quran that describe the "painful doom" that unbelevers will endure. There are also 25 "awful doom" verses, 10 "shameful dooms", 4 "dreadful dooms", 4 "dooms of fire", and another 40 or so differently named dooms. Plus 65 verses that mention just a plain old "doom" -- and a couple hundred or so that describe Hell, the Fire, etc.
But my favorite doom verse is this one (If you don't believe in hell, guess where you'll be going):
Those who believe not in the Hereafter, for them We have prepared a painful doom. 17:10

As long as I get some of the weapons from Doom, it shouldn't be so bad.
I think I can be a disbeliever so long as I keep my first-person shooter skills into old age.
...
Doom!
What if I deny the existence of doom? I bet the doom I can expect is really bad
