PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON THIS ANSWER:
Going to heaven according to a particular religion supposes that one accepts the teachings and the believes of this religion.
1. According to Judaism, everyone that believes in the Torah (which is the Old Testament) is likely to go to heaven (provided that he made good works). Christians and Muslims believe in the Torah which should (logically thinking according to Judaism) give them the opportunity to go to heaven. This is the modern Judaism, but the old Judaism supposed that you are from a Hebrew ancestry. It was quiet impossible to convert into Judaism, because Judaism was not just a religion, it was also a race.
2. According to Christians, if one believes in Jesus-Christ, he is likely to go to heaven (provided that he was a good person with good works). Jewish don't believe in Jesus (they even led him to death sentence). So consequently, they cannot be welcomed into heaven according to Christianity. Yet if Christianity is the true religion, Good Muslims should be welcomed in heaven, because they do believe in Jesus as the messenger of God and they also believe in the Gospels, and in the miraculous conception of Jesus-Christ. The unique difference between Muslims and Christians is that Muslims don't accept Jesus as the Lord itself or the son of God. But guess what? Even the Bible doesn't mention this stuff (I mean: there is no place in the Bible where the Divinity of Jesus is mentioned), I know, because I used to go to Sunday school as a child.
3.According to Islam, if an individual has been informed of the Message of Mohammed and the Koran and died without admitting it as a Message coming from God, he is not eligible for Heaven. So are Christians and Jewish in Islam.
So, if we concentrate and think deeply, and mathematically, whatever the true religion is, Muslims (Good Muslims with good works, which off course could not include Muslim terrorists) have the highest chance to go to heaven.

Islam cos Christianity makes no sense. Plus I always grew up thinking that there was 1 God. So I say muslims r right and will go to Heaven. I found out Jesus was never the son of god i had believed. Yes I chose Islam and am very happy living it. Islam is the only way I can think of to end the fighting between all religions. Probably Hell.

Revelation 14 v1 . that number is literal. 144,000
only 144,000 are going to heaven. the vast majority are already in position. only a few reaming places to be filled.
going to heaven is a lot of rubbish. no surprise though becuse the bible tells us that the devil is misleading the entire habited earth. when you die you die. if i died i would hope for a return to life on earth . the earth is mankind's home . god did not tell Adam that he would go to a place of eternal torment ( hell ) if he ate from the tree of the knowledge of bad and good, and god did not tell adam that he would pop off to heaven at some point if he was a good lad.
If all the Jews and Muslims , who are the seed of Abraham, end up in heaven, then tell please how could the scripture ever be fulfilled , '' by means of your seed ( god said to Abraham ) ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH will bless themselves ''????
The bible talks about the meek inheriting the earth, Psalms 37 v10.
The end of false religion is soon to be here. Revelation 17 is finding fulfillment and is yet to be completely fulfilled. Religion is on its way out. most people will tell you it causes wars and creates more problems than anything else. we will see religion finished soon. Except for the true worshippers of god. the truth seekers. the 'champions of god' the 'righteouss ones' John 8v 32
Revelation 13 v 9,10

Because Muslims say the Jews and Christians may also be getting very just reward for their deeds (and hence go to heaven), Islam is a more honest and latest of the true religions. Islam insists on two beliefs: In Allah the Unique and One (you may insert Yahweh or God for Allah) and the belief in the accountability in the Hereafter. Both the Christians and Jews admit no partners for Allah, so they are monotheists. The Christians out of exalted love for Jesus and Holy Spirit grant the status of divinity to them which Islam does not. Both Jesus and The Spirit are His creations and not his partners in Islam. There is a Praise for Churches and Synagogues in the Holy Quran, that Allah is celebrated there, and in great degree.. Now at the end of your question, since the members of many religions are going to go to Heaven, so praise the Lord Allah... in your own language, in your own way.

good question
But the bible says 144,000. They are the little flock, they are the ones that are bought out of the earth. So all three are incorrect.
Your comment of being raised by parents and following a religion is true, but Gods word can over come those beliefs. If a person has a humble heart a person can come and resolve those issues.
Yes i did choose my religion after study. Lots to go on in proving it is true,
Gods kingdom will end the fight between religions.
It is Gods choice of who will go to heaven, not based on religion.
All false religion will be destroyed, It is Gods Kingdom that will never be brought to ruin as stated in the Bible/Holy Scriptures.

I became convinced Christianity was true after reading that the Bible predicts many of today's scientific discoveries even thought it was written many centuries before science. Only the Jewish/ Christian Scriptures predicted that the Universe and Time had a beginning. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity proves that this must be true.
The Bible predicted that the Universe would be shown to be constantly expanding, Dark Energy and Dark Matter show that this is the case.
The Jewish Scriptures are full of hundreds of prophecies that have come true centuries later. Those prophecies show that Jewish/ Christian Scriptures are from God. Islam's Scriptures do not have any such prophecies. The only prophecies in Qu'ran are ones such as Muhammed will go to Mecca. Muhammed can choose by himself whether to go to Mecca or not.
Christianity is a faith based on evidence. It is the completion of Judaism. So we accept the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus is the Jewish Messiah predicted in Jewish Scriptures. That He did live, was killed, and resurrected proves that He is God. These are facts which can be demonstrated to be historically true. One can find this proof if they sincerely want to know the truth. Many choose not to believe the facts. They will have to account for that decision.
If you investigate the facts of Jesus you will discover this to be true.

As I am a Muslim,,,,, yes I think it have the right religion...
Islam is not an option...to choose,,, it is what (Adam, Essa (Jesus), Mousa, Ibrahim, Ya'agoob, and Mohammed ) believed that the only religion is Islam
Thank God,,, he chosen Islam as the right religion by saying " This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." 5:3
i think Muslims enshalla will go to heaven..
**fight between religion will end if all the ppl. of all over the world will worship God just like all prohets did and find the right religion...

What I always found interesting was that religious Jews have always known the Torah to be true. Then the Christians came along and said "the Torah is good and correct, but now we have the completion (read: replacement) of it, and this new religion that G-d likes better". Then Islam came around and said "well, the scriptures of both these religions were both good and true, and while the Qur'an does say the word of G-d cannot be changed, we still maintain that the Jews and Christians have altered their scriptures...why no, I haven't heard of cognitive dissonence. What is it?" Then come the Sikhs who say "all these Abrahamic religions were all well and good for their time, but now we have the REAL truth," and so on and so on through present day. Note that each new religion claims a monopoly on the truth, and that their teachings have come to replace all previous teachings.
The one thing everyone (all the major monotheistic religions, I mean) seems to agree on was that the Torah was at one point the undisputed truth, but that it has been supplanted by later truths. And yet, reading the Torah itself, one finds a full disclaimer that it will never be corrected, completed, or replaced (i.e. it is perfect and complete as is), and in fact, to attempt to tamper with or replace it is a capital offense! Logically, if the only thing everyone agrees to is that Torah was valid in its time, and the Torah clearly states that it is valid for all time, we're forced to conclude that the Jewish faith (the one that's based on adherence to Torah - not to be confused with other religions carrying the name Judaism, like that of the Reform movement) is the real deal.
That being said, one of the greatest thinkers in Jewish history, the philosopher Maimonides, once said that "The righteous of all nations have a share in the World to Come." In other words, Judaism is right, but that doesn't mean that heaven's gate has a sign reading "Jews only" (G-d forbid!) - nor does it say "Christians only" or "Muslims only".
It's a common mistake to assume that because some religions banish all those outside the faith to eternal agony in the fires of Hell, that other religions must do the same. People see the exclusivism inherent in some forms of Christianity and assume that the parent religion, Judaism, must be the same and assume that Heaven (no doubt based on the common Christian perception thereof, with angels playing harps and dancing on fluffy clouds or some such nonsense) is reserved solely for its adherents. I'd like to take this as an opportunity to dispell this myth.
Certainly Judaism places a very heavy yoke on its adherents, and supports the notion that the reward (the fruits of which man enjoys in this world whilst the principle remains in the world to come) is commensurate with the work, but that's not the same as saying you need to be Jewish to get on G-d's good side. On the contrary, Judaism has always advocated that non-Jews (assuming they don't wish to convert, which is fine) keep the covenant of Noah by adhering to the seven Noachide mitzvos (commandments). You can find more on that here: http://www.aish.com/literacy/judaism123/The_7_Noachide_Laws.asp
Most Jewish legal authorities would dub Islam a valid Noachide religion. Not valid in the sense of all the details being correct (the Qur'an makes an absolute jumble of Biblical history, just for starters), but valid in the sense of being an acceptable spiritual path, rooted in the service of G-d. This is assuming of course that one doesn't get sucked into the various forms of political extremism that call themselves Islam.
Christianity too would be considered by many to be a valid Noachide faith, although its status is rendered more controversial due to the questionable doctrine of the Trinity. There are those whole maintain, however, that while such beliefs are forbidden to Jews (whose souls were at Sinai and who, frankly, should know better), it is an acceptable path to one who would otherwise be a full-blown pagan, to a higher form of spirituality.
Being a decent human being, and meriting a portion in the next world, is not exclusive to any one religion. And the world would be a much better place if people would just realize this.
PS: I'd just like to point out, in response to an earlier answer, that a Jew who converts to another religion is still considered Jewish according to Torah. Nothing can change that. They are not, however, practicing Judaism. There's a fundamental difference here - a non-Jew is not morally obligated to convert to Judaism. But a Jew who adopts a foreign religion is under a moral obligation to return to the proper path. The assertion that the branch of evangelical Protestant Christianity called "Messianic Judaism" is a form of Judaism, as some of those practicing it are Jews, is utter nonsense. A Jew practicing Christianity is still a Jew, but his religion is not Judaism - that should be obvious but apparently it isn't. If large numbers of Christians started practicing Buddhism, they wouldn't call it "Christian Buddhism," would they? Hell...maybe they would. And it would be just as ridiculous as "Messianic Judaism" (traditional Judaism, by the way, IS focused on the Messiah - so the term is redundant. If they wanted to be accurate - which is obviously not the case since Messianic "Judaism" is a religion that gathers converts through deceptive means that have been condemned by Jewish AND Christian spiritual leaders, they should call it "Jewish-flavored Christianity" or "Christianity with a smattering of Hebrew." The only reason to refrain from calling it what it is, Christianity, is to not scare off Jews who only know enough to recognize a different religion when it presents itself honestly.)

So you want to know what God says or Muhammad's book? God says John 14: 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Muhammad was wishy washy because he did not know the etqchings of God, Muhammad at one point says Jews and Christians and sabians go to heaven,,,, he also says that those who believe the teachings of Christianity,,, the deity of Christ.. go to hell... So obviously Muhammad did not know the teachings of the Gospel and was confused, Muhammad also believed wrongly that a Christian or Jew could believe in him... It is impossible.. no Christian nor Jew believes the teachings of Muhammad, 2:62 Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. Seems clear cut huh? but wait... Maybe your god changed his mind And whoever seeks religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers) (3:85).

A title of religion is not free admission into Heavan. It is based on your actions and intentions. God made us different on purpose
to learn from each other and learn respect. So the answer which I believe is all the above. It depends on your actions and intentions not on your title or religious description. This is the Muslim belief.
[5:69] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Muslim and converts, and the Christians; *any one (any belief)* who (1) believes in GOD and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
