Daniel is considered a prophet by Christians, but not by Jews. The difference is no doubt based on the Christian use of passages in the book, that can be used as apparently foreshadowing the life of Jesus. On this view, Daniel became a prophet for Christians when they began to relate passages in the Book of Daniel to the New Testament.

According to the Book of Daniel, Daniel was taken by the Babylonians into Exile as a young boy, and grew up under Babylonian tutelage. He was always true to his beliefs, and even refused to eat the king's meat.
In chapter 2, in a story with many close parallels to the earlier story of Jacob in Egypt, Daniel interpreted a dream of King Nebuchadnezzar, after which he became second in command of the Babylonian Empire. After the Persian conquest of Babylon, Daniel soon once again became second in command, this time of the whole Persian empire. Because he was found worshipping his God, in defiance of an imperial order, he was thrown into a den of lions, but survived.
The story of Daniel contains many historical errors, and these were not historical events. There was no prophet Daniel, and there is ample evidence that the Book of Daniel was a novel written approximately 167 BCE, long after the time attributed to Daniel. The strong theological and nationalistic themes of the book resulted in it eventually becoming accepted by the later Jews as historical.
Daniel was probably in his 90's when Belshazzar summoned him to interpret the mysterious handwriting on the wall. (Daniel, chapter 5)
Daniel's major role was in foretelling the future of kings and kingdoms. See also the attached Related Link.

Sure, it is wrong. Not anyone could be called a prophet by anyone. A prophet is one named by God; and only God; and inspired by God (Allah) with certain message to call people for.
