Heaven in World Religions Around the world, many religions believe that heaven is located in many different places. Some have been led to believe that it is actually an unfindable and inaccessible place on earth; only those who are dead can seek it and remain there. While some religions believe that heaven may not even be located on earth. In fact, heaven is not always just a place; some believe it is a state of being (Zaleski). Heaven is often seen as a place free from hunger, thirst, pain, lack, disease, ignorance and strife, although heaven can be free from all of these things, but this are not the only gifts. who are waiting for you. Other, more rewarding gifts to look forward to are complete contentment, perfect knowledge, eternal rest, overwhelming peace, communion with God, and ecstatic joy (Zaleski). Most, if not all, cultures have multiple images of heaven, this wonderful place full of gifts and happiness is usually depicted with order. It contains the plans of all creations on earth, the resting place for all earthly rulers to lead 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 is through worthy activity, 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 reference point of all human motivation and hope (Zaleski). However, many people believe that heaven is only accessible as a free gift from a divine being. Regardless, all religions have different understandings of the afterlife, as well as different beliefs and teachings. Religions, such as Islam,...... middle of paper...... Judaism and Islam share the most similarities with their Gods, YHWH. and Allah, and their system of reincarnation, those who are righteous will dwell in happiness in their future rebirth. When it comes to the image of heaven, the three had no similarities, they all believe in heaven in a different light. They all view heaven positively, but among the three, the one that stands out the most is Buddhism, it is the only one that suffers in any of its heavens or realms. This religion is the most unique and enriched religion I have heard of. They do not believe in God but trust in three things, they have no heaven, but 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 way into heaven, they believe in some sort of God or ruler, and have a picture of how heaven was created and what it looks like..
