Is the false prophet at the final level of Hell in Dante's Inferno Mohammad?

Question

or

Who is the false prophet at the final level of hell in Dante's Inferno?

Girl Wonder - I gues you have never read the Divine Comedy.

It clearly states that the false prophet was in the lake of ice with the 3 headed beast to be chewed upon for all eternity.

I just reread some parts...Muhammad is in the Bolgia 9 of the 8th circle. The False Prophet in the 9th circle must be someone different.

THANKS....

Answer 1

If it is the false prophet the Dante dipicts, then it is not Mohammed. Check out the book of Revelation, this will talk about the false prophet and the antichrist. Neither of which have taken power on the earth. Keep watching though, it won't be long before they will emerge.

Answer 2

Have you read Dante's Inferno? The final level of hell was for the betrayers, like Judas and Brutus. Mohammad was in a different level.

I'm not a Christian, I don't believe in hell, I just believe in literary accuracy.

Answer 3

Inferno is a work of fiction.

If Dante didn't make his intentions clear, I'd be cautious about trying to do so centuries after the fact.

Answer 4

I think it is one of the saints that cast Dante out of his home land.

Answer 5

All praise is due to God, the Lord of the worlds, and may God
praise Prophet Muhammad, and render him and his household
safe and secure from all evil.
When talking about Prophet Muhammad, one should keep
in mind that he is talking about the greatest individual in his‐
tory. This is not a baseless claim; for the one who reads his bi‐
ography and learns of his mannerisms and ethics, while keep‐
ing aside all preconceived notions, would certainly reach this
conclusion. Some fair and just non‐Muslims have reached this
conclusion as well.
The late Professor Hasan Ali, may God have mercy on him, said
in his magazine ‘Noor al‐Islam’ that a Brahmin colleague of his
once told him: “I recognize and believe that the Messenger of
Islam is the greatest and most mature man in history.” Profes‐
sor Hasan Ali, may God have mercy on him, asked him: “Why
do you consider him as the greatest and most mature man?” He
replied:
No man possessed the characteristics, mannerisms and ethics
that he possessed at one time. He was a king under whom the
entire peninsula was unified; yet he was humble. He believed
that the dominion belonged to his God alone.
Great riches would come to him, and yet he lived in a state of
poverty; fire would not be lit in his house for many days, and
he would stay hungry. He was a great leader; he led small
numbers into battle against thousands, and yet he would de‐
cisively defeat them. He loved peace agreements and would
agree to them with a firm heart, even though he had thou‐
sands of his brave and courageous Companions by his side.
Each Companion was very brave and could confront a thou‐
sand enemies alone, while not feeling the least bit intimi‐
dated. Yet, the Prophet was kind‐hearted, merciful, and did
not want to shed a drop of blood. He was deeply concerned
about the affairs of the Arabian Peninsula, yet he did not ne‐
glect the affairs of his family, household, or the poor and
needy. He was keen to disseminate Islam amongst those who
had gone astray. In general, he was a man concerned with the
betterment and wellbeing of mankind, yet he did not indulge
in amassing worldly fortune. He busied himself with the wor‐
ship of God and loved doings deeds which pleased Him. He
never avenged himself on account of personal reasons. He
even prayed for his enemies’ wellbeing, and would warn
them of the punishment of God.
He was an ascetic regarding worldly affairs and would wor‐
ship God throughout the night. He was the brave and coura‐
geous soldier who fought with the sword ‐ and the infallible
Prophet ‐ the conqueror who conquered nations and coun‐
tries. He slept on a mat of hay and a pillow filled with coarse
fibers. People crowned him as the Sultan of the Arabs, or King
of the Arabian Peninsula, yet his family lived a simple life,
even after they received great fortunes; the riches were piled
in the Mosque."

Answer 6

Paul of Tarsus(Certainly)

Answer 7

One would think that was Dante's indirect stab at Islam. Rather childish of him to be honest.

No, it's Pat Robertson.
