Hinduism is the first religion in the world to write details
about Heaven and Hell. Buddhism, which originated from
Hinduism, barrowed some of its ideas. Persons who
do good works go to heaven and those who do bad
works go to hell. This concept is common for all
theologies. But where are these hell and heaven
located? Are they real? Only Hinduism has given
answers to these questions.
The Vishnu Purana says that the earth is merely one of
thousands of millions of inhabited worlds like itself
to be found in the universe. Since they are created by
the one Alimighty who is infinite, they all must look
similar. This excludes the possibility of E.T. (extra
terrestial beings with fantastic gears) proposed by
some science finction writers.
We know that our Sun is 'burning' since many billions
of years. The Sun will become a black dwarf in a
few millions of years according to modern astronomy.
The Upanishads say that energy of the Sun works on
our mind. We know that there are many new stars in
the universe. The light emanated by such 'Suns' contain
the primordial energy of the universe. Humans living in
earths around such Suns will have better peace and
harmony than what we have here. This is the meaning
of heaven. Persons doing good work will be born
there in their next life. You can extend it for hell
accordingly.

Well first, Muslims came into existence after Jesus, so that's an entirely different question altogether.
Secondly, Buddhists and Hindus do not believe in the idea of a "heaven" meaning some better place apart from the material world. Hindus believe in reincarnation, where the body you earn in your next life is based on your accumulated karma, good or bad. The goal is to exhaust all karma so there is nothing anchoring you to the cycle of births and deaths, so that would in a sense be our "heaven."
There is another school of thought advocating the idea that pure devotees go to one of the heavenly planets. For example, Vaishnavas who have no karma holding them in this world would want to end up in Vaikunthaloka, the world of Mahavishnu/Krishna.

Well, I have been told that everyone is going to be judged differently; people who were alive before Jesus cannot be judged the same as those who were born after him, can they? As to their judgment- I have no clue.
Islam was established after Jesus walked the earth, so they are under the new covenant (the one set when Jesus died and fulfilled the old one). If they reject Jesus, then they commit the only sin that cannot be forgiven and cannot go to heaven. As far as Hinduism and Buddhism, I have no clue when those religions were established, but anyone living after Jesus that has heard His gospel is subject to judgment under the new covenant.

Islam only came into being in the year 620 A.D. or thereabouts. They do not precede Jesus.
Yes, they do go to Heaven....those who are righteous. Jesus died on the cross IN TIME but the merits of his death and resurrection are applicable outside of time -- simply because God lives in the eternal now. My prayers that I say today or tomorrow or next week are applicable going back to before my "time".
They are also applicable to Buddhists, Hindus, Shintos, atheists and countless others -- again because of the merits of the cross and because God foreknew those who I would one day be praying for.

you're assuming that perception in Jesus has any touching on what happens after dying. that's the dogma perpetuated by making use of Christianity. staring on the 'style' of Christianity, this perceived 'fact' ameliorations. case in point, Roman Catholicism states that to get to heaven, you will possibly be able to desire to be a member of the Roman Catholic church. hence, all different Christians are damned. Baptists have faith that's good to specifically ask Jesus into your heart, hence being born back, in the different case you are able to’t enter the gates of heaven. (in different words, all Roman Catholics are damned) some Christian communities have faith that god has written the names of the "chosen" interior the e book of existence. in case you call is interior the e book, then no count what you're saying or do, you will pass to heaven, in the adventure that your call isn't interior the e book, then no count how good you're or how honest or religious, you will pass to hell. The circumstances for stepping into heaven substitute from Christian team to Christian team. that's one clarification why I left Christianity at the back of a protracted time in the past. I don’t understand what's to return after this existence, yet i'm specific (a hundred% beneficial) it has no longer something to do with somebody sitting in judgment of me, and whether it did, given a decision between the hypocrisy of cutting-edge Christianity and somewhat attempting to do the best issues, i % the latter.

Before the death of Jesus on the cross, only those people who worshipped the one true God (this is the God of the bible, the Old Testament, who of course is the God of the New Testament).....were saved. It was said of these people that they were anticipating the arrival of the Messiah, but did not live to see Him. For example, Abraham's faith in the true God "was accounted to him for righteousness".
Since Jesus' death on the cross, as it was demonstrated by the curtain in the temple being torn in two top to bottom, we now can come to the one true God only through His son.

Muslims are aware of Jesus. Their religion, as with Judaism and Christianity, traces its origin to Abraham.

Christ is the keeper to the gates of Heaven and all may enter only through Him. This says that that question is for Christ alone.
