what do Muslims think they will get when they reach Heaven?

Answer 1

Anything their heart desires...and more.

Answer 2

The descriptions of Heaven and Hell throughout the Quran are allegorical. And the Quran tells us so whenever such descriptions occur as independent statements, not within a general subject. See 2:24-26, 13:35, and 47:15. The word "Mathal" (allegory) is used in these verses. Linguistically, the word "Mathal" in these verses can be removed, and we still have perfect sentences. But it is there because the descriptions of Heaven and Hell are allegorical.

What Heaven and Hell are really like is far beyond our comprehension. Hence the need for allegory. How can one describe, for example, the taste of chocolate to a person who never tasted chocolate? Allegory will have to be used. The person has to wait to actually taste chocolate in order to know what chocolate tastes like. Whatever allegory we use to describe the taste of chocolate can never approximate the real thing.

Heaven already exists, since Adam and Eve were placed in it during their days of innocence (2:35). We learn from Sura 55 that there are two "High Heavens" - one for the humans and one for the jinns - and two "Lower Heavens" - one for the humans and one for the jinns (see Appendix 11 for more details).

Hell is not created yet. It will be created on the Day of Judgment (69:17 & 89:23).

Answer 3

(5:65)
"If the followers of the Bible would but attain to [true] faith and God-consciousness, We should indeed efface their [previous] bad deeds, and indeed bring them into gardens of bliss;"

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ آمَنُواْ وَاتَّقَوْاْ لَكَفَّرْنَا عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلأدْخَلْنَاهُمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ

A point to remember.... just like a percentage of mankind, not all Muslims will go to Heaven.

You can be called a Muslim by name, but if you don't practice it as guided by God, you may not have enough "good deeds" to go to heaven.

If you really want to know what is in Heaven, I advise you to read the Qur'an. There are many very descriptive verses of what true believers in the One God (of all religions) can expect. However, remember that it's impossible for the human mind to comprehend heaven at this stage of existence. It's a very advanced experience, way beyond the imagination.

(19:61) [theirs will be the] gardens of perpetual bliss which the Most Gracious has promised unto His servants, in a realm which is beyond the reach of human perception: [and,] verily, His promise is ever sure of fulfilment!

جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدَ الرَّحْمَنُ عِبَادَهُ بِالْغَيْبِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَأْتِيًّا

Answer 4

If they are good they go to heaven. Same as Christians or other religions.

Heaven is only for the reborn of heart or people who have gotten a heart of flesh from the Lord.

If they are not good at heart...

Answer 5

probably the sight of God as any believers believe. Some say it's 72 virgins but that's just a joke because they are trying to hasten the end of the world so that their savior will finally arrive. They are so lost without Him.

Answer 6

Like most religions...paradise will be waiting. Of course for those lunatics that blow themselves up as well as others, they're promised 72 virgens when they go to heaven. I seriously doubt the Koran mentions anything like this.

Answer 7

70 virgins. and a mule. (so they first two months in heaven are pretty good. its all down hill from there)

Answer 8

a man will get 72 virgins and a wine flowing river and young boys for slaves ,especially if he dies as a jihadi

Answer 9

only me will reach heaven...not muslims.they are bad people.

Answer 10

70 virgins.
