Understanding the whole concept of heaven-
Understanding the whole concept of Heaven? Heaven that is also called as Swarga in Hinduism is the stage when our Atman the soul within waits for a suitable body for it to manifest again. This Atman the soul within has a balance of positive merits due to which it remains in heaven (Swarga).
Any Atman the soul within that has a negative balance of merits is awarded hell, also known as Naraka in Hinduism. Naraka (hell) is also the stage when our Atman the soul within is in waiting for the next manifestation to occur.
Briefly, it can be stated, that if we have the balance of positive merits from zero to plus hundred we shall be awarded the stage of Heaven (Swarga) after our "Atman, The soul Within" has left the mortal frame. However if the balance of merits is between zero and minus hundred our Atman the soul within shall be given a place in hell (Naraka).
Heaven (Swarga) and hell (Naraka) are interim stages in the cosmic Life cycle of our Atman the soul within. The moment this Atman the soul within gets matching parents on Mother Earth... it shall again manifest a body... the body can be that of a Human Being and also of an animal depending upon the balance of merits or demerits possessed by the Atman.
As stated clearly in the Bhagavad Gita... the foremost of all sacred scriptures (the doctrine dictated by Lord Krishna to King Arjuna in the battlefield of Mahabharata between the Pandavas and the Kauravas... no Atman the soul within can directly gain immortality from Heaven.
Lord Krishna is considered as an Avatar (a direct incarnation of God) in Hinduism. He descended on Mother Earth roughly 1000 years before Bhagwan Mahavira, 1077 years before Gautama Buddha, about 1500 years before Jesus Christ and about 1700 years before the advent of Prophet Mohammed.

Heaven is something no mind can ever conceive. Heaven is a gift/reward from Allah for His Slaves who are righteous. Nobody can ever imagine it because it is hidden. But we do have few descriptions, but even then we can only make images on our own but not of the actual heaven itself. There are number of heavens (most likely 7) and the lowest one will be greater than this world. I think 10x greater.
In heaven there will be food no mouth has ever tasted. ANd we will all have servants serving us.
In heaven everyone will be happy. There'll be no grief or sadness or anything negative.
There will be a river called Kawther and its water will be whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. And on the day of judgment when the heat of sun will be right above our heads, those who were righteous will be fed from its water and their thirst will be quenched forever.
We will have vast palaces made of gold.
There's much more but i can't remember it all.
Heaven is a sweet reward for those who strive hard in this world and do not run after its materialistic things.

Heaven is merging with the lord. Like all water comes from the ocean and it all goes back same we are divine but with faults when we are acceptable to Him we merge into Him

heaven is incomparable to anything earthly.you and i cannot picture it in any form.but it has been confirmed by our lord of its beauty.
imagine its inhabitants living in His glory without the intellect pestering them here and there?there is no temptation or no negativity whatsoever!can you imagine the joy?24/7?
but then it is a place of reward for only those who serve our Father in heaven and do his will whiles on earth.

my personal idea would be for Heaven to be like Turtle Island was before the European " invaders " came over and brought their civilization.

Heaven. It is such a tricky question. Maybe its not what it will be like, but what you think it will be like. It could be a figment of your imagination, but you will be in a place.
