Answer 2

The answer is, they are definitely the same!
I will pass on to you what has been passed down to me.

There are Seven Heavens in both the Christian and Islamic traditions. The Mystics in both traditions have written extensively or verbally commented on this subject, for over 4,000 years. In a very quiet fashion................
Each Soul goes to the appropriate Heaven, according to the Souls qualities and actions, that was accumulated in their sojourns to life bearing worlds. That's a tough one to fathom
the thought of many worlds, I agree. But we must not place any limits on Gods abilities! All of Gods Prophets hinted to this fact of there being Seven Heavens during their sojourns to earth. These heavens are like schools, allowing each Soul to see the positive and negative portions of their travels.

This is how I see it and we will all know for sure when we pass from this world...............

I have written this so as to not offend either my Christian or Islamic, brothers and sisters.
If I have said anything in error I ask for Gods forgiveness.

Heaven is a very misunderstood term in Religious and Spiritual circles today and I thought you should be given a serious answer for such a serious question.

Answer 3

There is only one god there is only one heaven where all humans will go.

When you follow Islam, you dont follow me, you follow Prophet Abraham, This is what Muhammed (sal) has said.

Different religion is like different versions of same software.
The latest is promoted aggresively.
Even releasing new version of software is knowledge given by God. We humans are product of God's Wish & Effort.

Answer 4

Fire, depression, pain and agony. It's very different from the Christians heaven. Instead of believing the Son of God "Spirit of God" Jesus Christ, they believe in a so called prophet.

Answer 5

in islam heaven is the best place can any person have not like this cosmos he can have as many girls servants fruits and all what he wants and there is bad things there is no waste products (nothing excreted as urine or feces or any other way) but you have to believe that there is only one god and all prophets (mohamed ,jesus, moses etc) are slaves of god sent just to deliver the message

Answer 6

I know that in a muslim heaven, a man gets so-and so number of virgin girls, and a women get's so-and-so number too. Learned that from Barbara Walter's Christmas special on religion :) FO SHO!

Answer 7

Whatever you wish is within reach of your hands.
You don't have to lift a finger.
If you need a shadow of a tree... then a tree would grow.
If you are thirsty... then a river would start to flow.
Stuff like that. Its heaven... you get whatever you want.
