The bible refers to 3 different kinds of heavens.
-The 1st is the earth's upper atmosphere.
-The 2nd is talking about outer space.
-The 3rd is talking about the spiritual dwelling of God, the angels, and saints.
Saint Paul mentions someone who gets caught up to the third heaven. (2 Corinthians 12:2)

Things can be known by their opposite, lets talk about Hell,
Hell is of 7 levels, the bottom is where satan will be with his followers. Do you think one who is atheist will be in the same level with a polytheist or a serial killer or a thief or a fornicator. or one who desobey the commands of God?
If you understand that so it is for the heaven:
there is 7 heavens the top one close to God where the prophets will be and all the pious people = the one that God knows their inside, not the one that show us their outside. also the one who strived hard to gain the plaisure of God.
Do you think the one who did nothing in this life will be in the same level with the one who surrendered to the will of God, to the commands of God and to his laws? what kind of justice if it is not like this. and know that you can't get to paradise only by mercy of God, so when you are accepted at that time the angels look at your good deeds wich allow you to a certain level in heaven.
Islam forbid adultery, gambling, uncovered women, suicide, stealing, lying, having kids outside marriage, girlfriend, drinking, drugs, usury, many other things << those are that what God made it a choice for you , it is what satan whispers to everybody >>
also Islam call to do good , forbid evil, and pray , fast, pay charity, worship God alone, be good to the parents, help the poor and needy, ask God for forgiveness and repent to him because he is the most forgiving, most mercifull.
If you find a religion allowing what God forbid and forbiding what God allow, think about it because nothing can save you only his mercy and to get his mercy you have to follow his commands because nobody will benifit you only him the king, the Just, the Wise, the Judge.
God loves justice and peace.
If you agree that you see your daughter half naked in the street and tempting the innocent men as just and that's freedom, know that this is against the commands of God and that will bring only trouble to everybody and this is what satan likes.
Alcohol leads sometimes to road accident, suicide, killing, fighting, adultery, wrond doings that God doesn't like, If you think that you are saved while accepting these things , I desagree completelly.
think about it

I heard it was seven, because there are seven hierarchies of angels, one for each level.
