The Heavens in the World's Religions Throughout the world many religions believe that heaven is located in many different places. Some have been led to believe that it is actually an unobtainable and unattainable place on earth; only those who have died can seek it and dwell there. While some religions believe that heaven may not even be on earth. Indeed, heaven is not always just a place; some believe it is a state of being (Zaleski). Heaven is often seen only as a place free from hunger, thirst, pain, deprivation, disease, ignorance and conflict, while heaven may be free from all of these things, they are not the only gifts that await you. Other more rewarding gifts to expect are complete contentment, perfect knowledge, eternal rest, overwhelming peace, communion with God, and ecstatic joy (Zaleski). Most cultures, if not all, have multiple images of heaven, this wonderful place full of gifts and happiness is mostly represented with order. It contains the blueprints of all creations on earth, the resting place for all earthly rulers to direct and govern, and the values ​​by which to determine beauty, goodness, and truth (Zaleski). It's pretty safe to say that all religions preach that your one-way ticket to heaven comes through praiseworthy activities like making sacrifices or enduring great suffering. On the other hand, heaven is also understood as the reward for a life well lived, the fulfillment of the heart's deepest desire, and the ultimate point of reference for all human motivation and hope (Zaleski). Yet many believe that heaven is only accessible as a free gift from a divine being. Regardless, all religions have a different understanding of the afterlife and different beliefs and teachings. Religions, such as Islam, ... middle of paper ... Judaism and Islam shared the greatest number of similarities with their Gods, YHWH and Allah, and their system of reincarnation, those who are the righteous will dwell happily in the future rebirth. When it came to the image of heaven, all three had no similarities: they all believed that heaven was in a different light. Everyone sees heaven in a positive way, but among all three the one that stands out the most is Buddhism, it is the only one that has suffering in one of its heavens or realms. This religion is the most unique and enriched religion I have ever heard of. They don't believe in one God but they trust in three things, they don't have a heaven, but they have six realms of rebirth, all six unique in their own way. To conclude, all religions have three things in common: we have to earn our place in heaven, they believe in some kind of God or ruler, and they have a picture of how heaven was created and what it looks like...
