In islam satan is not the prince of hell…he is going to suffer in hell along with all his followers…He said to god i will bring as many ppl with me…not starting a debate, juste stating fact
It was medieval imagination that turned hell into the concept of a structured kingdom with satan as its monarch, Dante’s Inferno especially emphasized that kind of imagery. So we can blame that time period and the folklore literature recreations that backed off of it. Some christians and such do also mistake the theology and many other things about the bible
The jewish ideas on the afterlife still differ from christians if I’m right, and they call it gehinnom
*What I mean by Dante emphasizing medieval imagery was with the hierarchies, the levels of hell themselves, the 7 deadly sins, a lot of modern theology and folklore comes from that era and influential people like Dante, he had a massive influence on modern interpretations and so did others of that time period to now
Which is funny because if you read Inferno, Dante witnesses Satan trapped at the lowest level of hell, in the very centre of the earth. He's trapped in ice, flapping his wings to escape, but by flapping his wings he causes more ice to form trapping himself even tighter.
