Jannah is the arabic word for heaven
sophie b your wrong in ur statement as islam like chrisitianity and judaism is a monotheistic religion so it believes in not only one god but the day of judgement and life after death. Theres no such thing as reincarnation in Islam, its in Hinduism. So you'll be suprised how much islam and chrisitianity are alike

Jannah جنّة is the Islamic name for paradise. It is derived from the Hebrew term Gan Eden or Garden of Eden. The Arabic form Jannah, is a shortened version meaning simply "Garden". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yaum al-Qiyamah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven.
The Qur'an contains many references to an afterlife in Eden for those who do good deeds. Heaven itself is commonly described in the Qur'an in verse 35 of Surah Al-Ra’d: "The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised! Beneath it flow rivers. Perpetual is the fruits thereof and the shade therein. Such is the End of the Righteous; and the end of the unbelievers is the Fire, wherein a person dwells forever." Since Islam rejects the concept of original sin, Muslims believe that all human beings are born pure and will naturally turn to God, but it is their environment which influences them to choose ungodly ways of life. In Islam, therefore, a child who dies automatically goes to heaven, regardless of the religion of his or her parents. The highest level of heaven is Firdaws (فردوس), which is where the prophets, the martyrs and the most truthful and pious people will dwell.
Muslims believe that it is only God's will that determines who may enter Jannah and who may not.
Jannah is maintained by the angel Ridwan

You mean Arabic name, as the Quran is in Arabic, we were aware of it through the Quran. It is: Jenna. The 'N' is emphasized.
