Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Dante: what are we? Hell is the first part of Dante Alighieri's three-part epic poem, The Divine Comedy. In this poem Dante develops many themes during the adventures of his travellers, from the political to the religious. The Hell is a poem that Dante used to explain and show his ideas about the divine justice of God. Throughout this story religion emerges and shows the comparison between the different Hells and beliefs. This article develops the connections between Christianity, Islam and Judaism and the message presented in Dante's Inferno. In the Inferno, Dante gives his audience a clear vision of what he believes as a Christian follower, that hell has to offer. It shows that worldly sin, every single sin has a just punishment. An example in Dante would be when Cocytus was frozen because he had committed the cold crime of fraud. The deeper Virgil and Dante go into hell, the greater the volume of sin committed. In each level of hell, criminals are punished equally depending on the crime they commit. Dante learns that God's punishment is just and that his power is divine. He expounds one of the most fully developed Christian conceptions of justice on this earth. He describes this justice as what we do as human beings will determine what will happen to us when it is our time to go according to God's judgment. An example of this divine power would be when the Furies do not allow Dante and Virgil to pass through the Gate of Dis . Even in the Inferno, Dante's view of hell and the Islamic view of hell may be different. The Quran never mentions a complete and distinctly real physical Hell as Dante depicts it, but Islam has used allegory like Dante to portray the subject who is far away... in the center of the card... I heard and spoke today . It gives us the best known version of how Hell is represented today and it is said that when most people imagine Hell, they think of the image explained by Dante. For some people today, this book is still taken literally. Dante's Inferno is seen as a lesson in what happens when one leads an immortal life. Work cited Alexander Lee (2012). In defense of Dante.
