All roads lead to heaven. All roads lead to hell also. It's a choice you have to make for yourself. I find this little story says it all:
===============================================
A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said, "Lord,
I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like." God led the
holy man to two doors.
He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of
the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large
pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.
The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to
be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were
strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of
stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their
arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.
The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. God said, "You have seen Hell".
They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as
the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew
which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the
same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and
plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, "I don't understand."
" It is simple," said God, "it requires but one skill. You see, they
have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of
themselves."
===============================================
Some people say heaven is the hereafter and I agree. Heaven is the 'here' - after we make it so.

Of course...a man from China and a man from France can't take the same path to heaven...there are too many paths...if you have the map"The road to Heaven" you won't have any problems!

There is only one path to heaven: doing the Will of the One True God by learning and practicing the counsels revealed in the Holy Books of the Messengers of the One True God.

Actually, no.
Matthew 7:13,14). explains Even though, A lot of people believe thatALL RELIGIONS are good, they say;"These are simply different roads leading to the same place" If this were true, your religion would not matter, you could live what ever way you wish and still go to heacven, for it would mean that all religions are acceptable to God no matter what. But are they?Jesus Christ did not teach, that,all, religions, are simply roads that lead to the same place of salvation In his famous sermon on the mount He said,"Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it.whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it."(Matthew7:13,14)
So Jesus did not say that everybody was right or finding salvation but that most people are on the wrong roadwhich is the one leading to destruction and that there are only two roads one leading to destruction wide and spacious meaning virtually anything goes on that road and the other leading to life is narrow and cramped and few people are on that road because it is not an easy ropad but it takes effort to follow itSo because the people traveling on the wide and spacious road choose their own ways and the wide easy road saying and believing that all religion is simply a different way to God they fail to worship God in the right waymost people are on the broad and spacious road that really leads away from God and into destruction Ye it is possible to be right and there are people who are on the right road and are right but they are a small minority of people who have found the right road and will

Nooooooooo...!! How can it be that there's just ONE God Who created everyone but that He doesn't have one specific Path for us all to follow?.... How can people who have almost COMPLETELY different beliefs still end up in the same place (Heavenhell)?... Sure we have free will!!!! But there HAS to be (and there is) only ONE Path that God has chosen for His Creations.
The RIGHT and PERFECT Path leads to HEAVEN; the wrong and imperfect path leads to hell. YOU choose which one to follow.
"...This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion [Islam]: yet fear them not, but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But ... Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful" (Quran, 5:3).
Peace and blessings be upon you all!

Well in Islam you go too hell for not being Muslim but in hell if you repent and worship Allah you can get into heaven. In Judaism you just have to keep the Noahide laws and your in. Hell is only temporary in Judaism. Its really only Christianity that sends non believers to hell forever.

Quite right megawahala. Heaven is different for each one of us. And it is achievable here and now. As is Hell.
And since each Heaven is different, our ways of 'getting there' are all different too.
Enjoy your journey Gorgeous!

[3:85] If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to God), never will it be accepted of him; and in the hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good).
