I'm not a Moslem, but the question and some of the answers here strike me as rude--and there is no excuse for rudeness. If you don't like Moslems, that's up to you, but politeness matters.

No, because I don't believe there is any such place the way that Christians talk about it.
First of all, the Torah doesn't mention "Hell", nor is that word in the the rest of the Christian bible's Old Testament. Not in the original.
It's Gehenna or Sheol, not "Hell".
The word Gehenna traces to Greek, ultimately from Hebrew: גי(א)-הינום Gêhinnôm (also Guy ben-Hinnom (Hebrew: גיא בן הינום)) meaning the Valley of Hinnom. The valley forms the southern border of ancient Jerusalem and stretches from the foot of Mt. Zion, eastward, to the Kidron Valley. It is first mentioned in Joshua 15:8. Originally it referred to a garbage dump in a deep narrow valley right outside the walls of Jerusalem (in modern-day Israel) where fires were kept burning to consume the refuse and keep down the stench. It is also the location where bodies of executed criminals, or individuals denied a proper burial, would be dumped.
Like Sheol, Gehenna is sometimes translated as "Hell", which is fine...but the IDEA of Gehenna, in the process of translation and interpretation took on an UNintended meaning, a wrong meaning..
Why would a garbage dump be considered a place of torment? Well, the only immortality that people have (in Jewish tradition) is in being remembered by others. The traditional Yahrzeit (the ceremony to mark the annual anniversary of the death of a person) is one way in which the memory of a deceased Jew is kept alive. The yahrzeit is observed by lighting a twenty-four hour candle the evening before the day of the yahrzeit, and most people recite the Kaddish and take a few moments of introspection and thought. Most congregations recite the name of the deceased whose yahrzeit is being observed during the Shabbat services closest to the date.
Naming one's children after a deceased relative is another way to keep alive the memory of the dead.
So....in summary, the whole idea of "Hell" as a place of eternal torment is a misinterpretation of the Jewish idea that being lost to memory is the worst thing that can happen to someone. Having one's body thrown onto the trash heap rather then being buried in sanctified ground with a commemorative headstone, and not being remembered through ritual, prayer, or having one's name passed along to future generations - THAT is the original horror that has been changed into the idea of the soul in eternal torment in the flames of "Hell".
***********
As for me, I don't believe there is any such thing as a place of eternal torment. So the periodic threats that I get from Christians about burning in Hell amuse rather than upset me.
Telling a non-Christian that they are going to burn in Hell is like calling a penalty on the *spectators* at a football game.

Yes!!! He has sown seeds of hatred and violence that have endured for over 1400 years. So much blood has been shed in his name. People of different beliefs and innocents have been slaughtered as he instructed. This all weighs heavy on his tortured soul. He is weeping and gnashing his teeth now that he sees the destruction he has caused. And now it looks as if the world might end up in another world war because of jihadists following the words of his "holy" Quran. He was a false prophet deceived by a dark entity whom he thought was "Gabriel" and he will continue to burn in hell for as long as this terrorism and death continues in his name. I am furious with Muhammed for causing such destruction to our world!

Do you believe that everyone that doesn't have a like mind as your self is wrong. Do you understand the Islamic religion, other than the half truths you read about? If you are Baptist, are all Catholics and Lutherans going to hell, because they don't believe how you believe? Do you realize that in the muslim faith, your god and allah, are one in the same.
Does having such a closed mind about the world you live in, make you feel better?

NONE are yet in Hell. After the Judgment, then will those gates be opened to it's inhabitants. I will not judge anyone. That is Christ's Job at the Judgment. Have a great day.

The answer is NO...Prophet Muhammad is the last prophet. Same as Jesus and Moses and others prophet. They have the same God. Please read Bible carefully. The different is Muhammad is messenger for all mankind but Jesus just for Jews.
