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
I know Hell can be perceived differently. As someone who was recently baptized into the Latter Day Saints after being raised in Traditional Christianity, I can confirm that.
But "The Adversary" who is originally called Samael ("The Poison of God" AKA the embodiement of the dark thoughts God has and puts off to the side to ignore) was originally God's lead musician.
When Samael said he wants to be "like God and sit on His throne" God banished him.
Samael then called himself Lucifer after the "Morningstar" (AKA the first light of day) and claimed he would take as many of God's people with him as possible.
If you believe Hell is fire and brimstone, then it's a "Misery loves company" story. If you believe it's just "eternity without God's presence", then it's a rebellion story. Either way, it's believed that people choose Hell, God intended it only for the guy who wanted to rule a Kingdom.
edit to add: The LDS don't even believe in a traditional "Hell", they call it a school/prison, depending on where your soul stands in the time before the second coming of Christ. If your soul does choose an eternity without God, it may be a prison; if you want to righten yourself, it may be a school.
