Abstract: The attention of researchers has aroused the issue of the influence between Arab Islamic literature and Western literature, and among these works is the work of Dante, the well-known "Divine Comedy", which was translated into many languages due to the impact it left on the hearts of its recipients. In this paper, we shed light on the scene of the companions of elevations (Al Araf), which the Holy Qur’an portrayed well, and this scene came in the same image for Dante, and through this scene we tried to show the extent of the influence of Islamic sciences on Western literature. We started our research with an introduction in which we defined the walls (Al Araf) in language and idiomatically a brief about the book of the Divine Comedy, then we mentioned in the first section about norms in Noble Qur’an and in the Sunnah and among the commentators to conclude this topic with (limbos) of Dante in the Divine Comedy, while the second section came to explain the issue of influence between the sciences, The paper ended with a number of conclusions.
