Heaven, or heaven, is a religious, cosmological, or transcendent public place in which beings like gods, angels, spirits, saints, or respected ancestors are said to be, come to be thrones, or live. According to the beliefs of some religions, celestial beings can come down to earth or incarnate, and worldly beings can ascend to Heaven in the afterlife, or in extraordinary cases enter Heaven alive.
Heaven is often described as a "higher place", the holiest place, Heaven, unlike Hell or the Underworld or "low place," and is universally or conditional accessed by worldly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, or other virtues or true beliefs or just God's will. Some people believe in the possibility of Heaven on Earth in the Forthcoming World.
Another belief is on the axis of the mundi or the world tree that connects the sky, the terrestrial world, and the underworld. In Indian religions, Heaven is considered a Svarga loca , and the soul is again subject to rebirth in different forms of life in accordance with the karmanya . This cycle can be broken after the soul reaches Moksha or Nirvana . Any place of existence, whether human, soul, or god, outside the real world (Heaven, Hell, or otherwise) is referred to as the other world.

Etimologi
The modern English word heaven comes from earlier (Middle England) heven (proved 1159); this in turn developed from the previous Old English form heofon . Approximately 1000, heofon is used in reference to the Christian "dwelling place", but originally, it signifies "sky, the horizon" (eg Beowulf , c 725). The English term has the same language in other Germanic languages: Old Saxon him? An "heaven, heaven", Middle Low German heven "sky", Old Icelandic Maps Heaven
By religion
Ancient Near Eastern Religion
Mesopotamia
Ancient Mesopotamians regard the sky as a series of domes (usually three, but sometimes seven) covering the flat earth. Each dome is made of different precious stones. The lowest heaven dome is made of jasper and is the home of the stars. The central dome of heaven is made of stone saggilmut and is the home of Igigi. The supreme and outer dome of heaven is made of stone lulud? N? Tu and personified as An, the sky god. The celestial bodies are likened to certain gods as well. The planet Venus is believed to be the Inanna, the goddess of love, sex, and war. The sun is his brother Utu, the god of justice, and the moon is their father, Nanna.
Ordinary people can not go to heaven because it is the abode of the gods only. Conversely, after a person dies, his soul goes to Kur (later known as Irkalla), a dark world under the shadow, which lies deep beneath the surface of the earth. All souls go to the same afterlife, and one's actions during life have no impact on how he will be treated in the world to come. Nevertheless, the burial evidence shows that some people believe that Inanna has the power to give special blessings to his followers in the afterlife.
Egypt
In the religion of Ancient Egypt, the belief in life after death was much more emphasized than in ancient Judaism. Heaven is a physical place far above Earth in the "dark areas" of space where there are no stars, essentially outside the Universe. According to the Book of the Dead , the abandoned soul will undergo a literal journey to reach Heaven, along paths of danger and other entities seeking to deny the attainment of Heaven. Their hearts will eventually be burdened with feathers of righteousness, and if the sins weigh on their hearts, it is eaten.
Canaanite and Phoenician Views of Heaven
Almost nothing is known about the Bronze Age (before 1200 BC) of Canaan's view of Heaven, and the archaeological findings in Ugarit (destroyed around 1200 BC) have not provided any information. The first-century Greek writer Philo of Byblos can preserve the elements of the Iron Age of Phenicia religion in his book Sanchuniathon .
Hurrian myth and Hittite
In the Middle Hetite myth, Heaven is the home of the gods. In Kidung Kumarbi, Alalu was king in Heaven for nine years before giving birth to his son, Anu. His own was overthrown by his son, Kumarbi.
BahÃÆ'¡'ÃÆ' Faith
The BahÃÆ'¡'ÃÆ' Faith considers conventional descriptions of Heaven (and hell) as special places as symbols. The writings of Bahá¡'A describe Heaven as a "spiritual condition" in which closeness to God is defined as Heaven; otherwise hell is seen as a state of remoteness from God. BahÃÆ'¡'u'llÃÆ'¡h, the founder of BahÃÆ'¡'ÃÆ' Faith, has declared that the nature of life in the afterlife is beyond understanding in the physical realm, but has declared that the soul will maintain consciousness and individuality and remember its physical life; the soul will be able to recognize other souls and communicate with them.
For BahÃÆ'¡'ÃÆ's, coming into the next life has the potential to bring great joy. BahÃÆ'¡'u'llÃÆ'¡h likened death to the birth process. He explains: "The outside world is different from this world because the world is different from the world of the child while still in the mother's womb." The analogy to the uterus in many ways sums up Bahah's view of worldly existence: as the womb is an important place for one's initial physical development, the physical world provides for the development of the individual soul. Thus, Bahá¡'ÃÆ's views life as a preparatory stage, in which one can develop and perfect the qualities that will be needed in the next life. The key to spiritual advancement is to follow the path outlined by the current Manifestation of God, which Bahán currently believes is BahÃÆ'¡'u'llÃÆ'¡h. BahÃÆ'¡'u'llÃÆ'¡h writes, "Know, of a truth, that if the soul of man has walked in the way of the Lord, it shall, surely return and be gathered to the glory of the Beloved."
The Doctrine of BahÄ 'states that there is a hierarchy of souls in the afterlife, where the benefit of every soul determines their place in the hierarchy, and that the lower soul in the hierarchy does not fully understand the station of those above. Every soul can continue to advance in the hereafter, but the development of the soul is not entirely dependent on its own conscious effort, a trait we are not aware of, but also strengthened by God's grace, the prayer of others, and good deeds. done by others on Earth on behalf of that person.
Buddhism
In Buddhism there are some Heavens, all of which are still part of the samsara (reality of illusion). Those who collect good karma can be reborn in one of them. However, their stay in Heaven is impermanent - in the end they will use their good karma and will be reborn to another world, as human beings, animals or other creatures. Since Heaven is temporary and part of samsara , Buddhists are more focused on escaping the cycle of rebirth and attaining enlightenment (nirvana ). Nirvana is not heaven but a mental state.
According to Buddhist cosmology the universe is impermanent and transmigrated through a number of existential "planes" in which the human world is only one "nature" or "way". It is traditionally conceived as a vertical continuum with Heaven existing above human nature, and the animal realm, the hungry ghost and the underlying hell-beings. According to Jan Chozen Bays in his book, Jizo: Guardian of Children, Travelers, and Other Voyagers , the realm of asuras is the subsequent consummation of the heavenly realm and inserted between the human realm and Heaven. One important Buddhist Paradise is Tr? Yastri ?? a , which resembles Olympus Greek mythology.
In the Mahayana world view, there are also pure lands which lie outside this continuum and are created by the Buddhas upon attainment of enlightenment. Rebirth in the pure land of Amitabha is seen as a guarantee of Buddhahood, to once be reborn there, the creatures do not fall back into the existence of the cycle unless they choose to do it to save other beings, the goal of Buddhism is to gain enlightenment and freedom. self and others from the cycle of birth-death.
The word Tibet Bardo literally means "middle country". In Sanskrit the concept has the name antarabh? Va .

Chinese beliefs
In the original Chinese Confucian tradition, Heaven (Tian) is an important concept, in which the ancestors were and from which the emperor drew their mandate to rule in their dynastic propaganda, for example.
Heaven is a key concept in Chinese mythology, philosophy and religion, and resides on one end of the synonymous spectrum of Shangdi ("The Great God") and at the other naturalistic end, a synonym for nature and the heavens. The Chinese term for "Heaven", Tian (?), Originated from the name of the supreme deity of the Zhou Dynasty. After their conquest of the Shang Dynasty in 1122 BC, the people of Zhou regarded their supreme deity Tian to become synonymous with the supreme deity Shang Shangdi . The people of Zhou connect Heaven with anthropomorphic attributes, evidenced in the etymology of Chinese characters for Heaven or Heaven, which initially depicts a person with a large skull. Heaven is said to see, hear and watch over everyone. Heaven is influenced by human actions, and has a personality, happy and angry with them. Heaven blesses those who please and sends disasters to those who offend them. Heaven is also believed to overcome all spirits and other deities, with Confucius asserting, "He who attacks Heaven has no one to whom he can pray."
Other philosophers born around Confucius's time like Mozi take a more theistic view of Heaven, believing that Heaven is divine ruler, just as the Son of Heaven (King Zhou) is the world ruler. Mozi believes that spirits and small gods exist, but their function is only to carry out the Will of Heaven, to oversee the perpetrators of crime and to punish them. Thus they function as angels of Heaven and do not diminish their monotheistic government in the world. With such a high monotheism, it is not surprising that Mohism fought a concept called "universal love" ( jian'ai , ??), which teaches that Heaven loves everyone equally and that everyone should be the same love all men without distinguishing between their own relatives and others. At Mozi's Will of Heaven (??), he wrote:
Mozi criticized Confucius in his own time for not following the teachings of Confucius. In the later Han Dynasties, however, under the influence of Xunzi, the Chinese concept of Heaven and Confucianism itself has become largely naturalistic, although some Confucians argue that Heaven is where the ancestors are. The worship of Heaven in China followed by the establishment of the shrine, the last and greatest being the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and the offering of prayer. Chinese rulers in every Chinese dynasty will perform an annual sacrificial ritual to Heaven, usually by slaughtering two healthy bulls as a sacrifice.
Christianity
Traditionally, Christianity has taught that Heaven is the location of the throne of God and also the holy angel, although these are in various degrees considered metaphors. In traditional Christianity, it is regarded as a state or condition of existence (not a certain place somewhere in the cosmos) of the highest fulfillment of theosis in the beatify vision of the Godhead. In most forms of Christianity, heaven is also understood as the abode of the dead which is redeemed in the afterlife, usually the temporary stage before the resurrection of the dead and the saints' return to the New Earth.
The risen Jesus is said to have ascended to heaven where he now sits at the right hand of God and will return to earth on the Second Coming. Various people have been said to have entered heaven while still alive, including Enoch, Elijah and Jesus Himself, after his resurrection. According to Roman Catholic teaching, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is also said to have been assumed to heaven and given the title of Queen of Heaven.
The Gospel of Matthew often uses the phrase "Kingdom of Heaven", in which the other Synoptic Gospels speak of "the kingdom of God", one of the key elements of the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. Revelation 12: 7-9 speaks of the war in Heaven between Michael the Archangel and his angels against Satan and his angels, after which Satan and his angels "are thrown to the earth."
In the 2nd century, Irenaeus of Lyons recorded a belief that, according to John 14: 2, those in the afterlife saw the Savior in different houses, some living in Heaven, others in paradise and others in "cities ".
As for the word used in all these writings, especially the Greek New Testament word ??????? ( ouranos ), applies primarily to the heavens, it is also used metaphorically from the abode of God and the blessed one. Similarly, although the English word "heaven" still retains its original physical meaning when used, for example, in satire for stars as "the shining lights of Heaven," and in phrases like heavenly bodies meaning astronomical objects, Heaven or happiness is expected by Christianity, according to Pope John Paul II, "not an abstraction or a physical place in the cloud, but a living personal relationship with the Holy Trinity, this is our encounter with the Father that occurs in the resurrected Christ through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit."
Hinduism
Reaching heaven is not the final pursuit of Hinduism because heaven itself is temporary and connected to the physical body. Just bound by bhoot-tatvas, heaven can not be perfect either and just another name for a pleasant and earthly material life. According to Hindu cosmology, on worldly planes, is another area: (1) Bhuva Loka, (2) Swarga Loka, which means Good Kingdom, is a common name for paradise in Hinduism, heaven of pleasure, where most Hindu Devatas Deva) dwells with the king of Devas, Indra, and human beings who have been beatified. Some other aircraft are Mahar Loka, Jana Loka, Tapa Loka and Satya Loka. Since the heavenly dwelling is also bound to the cycle of birth and death, every inhabitant of Heaven or Hell will be recycled back into different fields and in different forms per karma and "maya" the illusion of Samsara. This cycle is broken only by self-realization by Jivatma. This self-consciousness is Moksha (Turiya, Kaivalya).
The concept of moksha is unique to Hinduism and is unmatched. Moksha stands for the release of the birth and death cycle and the final fellowship with Brahman. With moksha, the liberated soul achieves position and unity with Brahman or Paramatma. Different schools like Vedanta, Mimansa, Sankhya, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, and Yoga offer a subtle difference in Brahman's concept, clear Universe, its origins and regular destruction, Jivatma, Nature (Prakriti) and also the right way to achieve happiness perfect or moksha.
In the Vaishnava tradition, the highest Heaven is the Vaikuntha, which is above the six heavenly spaces and beyond the world of tattoo-world or tattoo. That is where the eternally liberated souls who have attained moksha are in eternal eternal beauty with Lakshmi and Narayana (manifestations of Vishnu).
At Nasadiya Sukta, Vyoman skyline is mentioned as the place from which the observing entity conducts what surveys have been made. However, Nasadiya Sukta questioned the omniscience of this watchdog.
Islam
The Qur'an contains many references to life after death in Eden for those who do good deeds. Concerning the concept of Heaven (Jannah) in the Qur'an, verse 35 Surah Al-Ra'd says, "The Parable of the Garden promised by the righteous One under it flowing rivers, Eternal is its fruit and shade there That is the End of the Righteous, and the end of unbelievers is Fire. " [Quran 13:35] Islam rejects the concept of original sin, and Muslims believe that all human beings are born pure. Children automatically go to Heaven when they die, regardless of their parent's religion.
The concept of Heaven in Islam differs in many ways from the concept in Judaism and Christianity. Heaven is described primarily in physical terms as a place where every desire is immediately fulfilled when asked. Islamic texts describe eternal life in Heaven as happy, without negative emotions. Those who live in Heaven are said to wear expensive clothes, participate in beautiful banquets, and lie on couches lined with gold or precious stones. Residents will rejoice in the company of their parents, spouses, and children. In Islam if a person's good deed exceeds one's sins then one can enter Heaven. Conversely, if a person's sins exceed their good deeds, they are sent to hell. The better deeds a person performs, the higher the level of Heaven is directed. It has been said that the lowest level of Heaven, the first, is more than a hundred times better than the greatest life on Earth. The highest level is the seventh Heaven. The house was built by angels for its inhabitants using pure gold.
The verses depicting Heaven include: Quran 13:35, Quran 18:31, Quran 38: 49-54, Quran 35: 33-35, Quran 52: 17-27, Quran 78: 31-34.
Islamic texts refer to several levels of Paradise: Paradise or Heaven, 'Adn (Eden), Jannatun-Na'iim (Paradise of Joy), Ma'wa (protection), Darussalaam (peace house), Daarul-Muqaamah (home of permanence ), Al-Muqqamul Amin (safe place) & amp; Jannattul-Khuld (heaven of immortality).
Ahmadiyya
According to the Ahmadiyya view, many of the images presented in the Qur'an about Heaven, but also hell, are actually metaphorical. They put forward a verse that explains, according to them, how life that will come after death is very different from life on earth. The Qur'an says: "From bringing your place to others like you, and from developing you into a form that you currently do not know." [Quran 56:62] According to Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya sect in Islam, the soul will bear another rarer entity that will resemble life on earth in the sense that this entity will have the same relationship with the soul, because the soul contains a relationship with the existence of man on earth. On earth, if a person leads a righteous life and is subject to God's will, his tastes become aligned by enjoying spiritual pleasures that are contrary to worldly desires. With this, the "embryonic soul" begins to form. Different tastes are said to be born where a person who is given to the lust of the flesh finds no pleasure. For example, the sacrifice of private property on the rights of others becomes pleasurable, or that forgiveness becomes second nature. In such circumstances one finds satisfaction and peace at heart and at this stage, according to Ahmadiyya belief, it can be said that the soul within the soul has begun to take shape.
Jainism
The form of the Universe as described in Jainism is shown together. Unlike current conventions using the North direction as the top of the map, it uses the South as the top. The shape is similar to the human form that stands upright.
The Deva Loka (sky) is in the symbolic "chest", where all souls enjoy the effects of positive karma being. The celestial beings are called the deva (masculine form) and devis (feminine form). According to Jainism, there is not a single heavenly abode, but several layers to give the right reward for souls with varying degrees of karmic benefits. Similarly, under "the waist" is Narka Loka (Hell). The life forms of humans, animals, insects, plants and microscopes are in the middle.
The pure souls (who attain Siddha's status) are at the southernmost end of the Universe. They are called in Tamil literature as ????????????? (Kural 43).
Judaism
Yahwism (Iron Age Judaism)
The term for Heaven at Tanakh is shamayim , situated above the horizon (a solid and transparent dome that covers the earth and separates it from the "waters" above). Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives in Heaven or in "Heaven's Heaven" (the exact difference between the two, if any, is not clear) in the heavenly palace. His residence on earth is Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, which is a model of the cosmos and belongs to the part representing Heaven.
Rabbinical Judaism
While the concept of Heaven ( malkuth hashamaim ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? like the olam haba , The world to come, not too much talked about The Torah does not talk much about survival after death, but at the time of the rabbis there were two ideas that made the breakthrough among the Jews: one, probably derived from the Greek thought, is that the immortal soul that returns to the creator after death, the other, which is considered to be Persian origin, is the resurrection of the dead.
Jewish writings refer to the "new earth" as the dwelling place of mankind after the resurrection of the dead. At first, the two ideas of eternity and resurrection were different but in the thought of the rabbin that they were combined: the soul departs from the body at death but is returned to it at the resurrection. This idea is related to other rabbinical teachings, that the good and bad deeds of humanity are respected and punished not in this life but after death, either immediately or in the next resurrection. Around 1 CE, the Pharisees are said to have maintained the conviction of the resurrection but the Sadducees are said to have denied it (Matthew 22:23).
Misnah has many sayings about the World to Come, for example, "Rabbi Yaakov said: The world is like the lobby before the World Comes, prepare yourself in the lobby so you can enter the banquet hall."
Judaism holds that the righteous of all nations have a part in the world to come.
According to Nicholas de Lange, Judaism does not offer a clear teaching of destiny awaiting the individual after death and his attitude to life after death has been stated as follows: "For the future is incomprehensible, and the source of knowledge received, whether experience, or reason, or revelation, does not offer clear guidance on what is to come.The only certainty is that everyone should die - beyond that we can only guess. "
According to Tracey R. Rich of the "Judaism 101" website, Judaism, unlike other world religions, is not focused on seeking to get into Heaven but in life and how to live it.
Kabbalah Jewish mysticism
In the order of the lowest to the highest, the seven heavens, Shamayim (????????), according to the Talmud, are listed beside the angels who rule them:
- Vilon (???????) or Araphel (???????) The first heaven, arranged by Angel Gabriel Gabriel, is the closest of the heavenly realms to the Earth; it is also regarded as the home of Adam and Eve.
- Raqia (???????): The second paradise is dominated by Zachariel and Raphael. It was in Heaven that Moses, during his visit to Firdaus, met with the angel Nuriel who stood "300 tall tall, with a group of 50 miriad of angels all coming from water and fire". Also, Raqia is regarded as a region where the fallen angels are imprisoned and the planets are tied.
- Shehaqim (?????????, Shechaqim ): The third paradise, under the leadership of Anahel, serves as a home from the Garden of Eden and the Tree of Life; it is also the world of manna, holy food of the angels, produced. The Second Book of Enoch , meanwhile, states that both Heaven and Hell are housed in Shehaqim with Hell located just "on the north".
- Maon (??????): The fourth paradise is ruled by Michael's High Angel, and according to Talmud Hagiga 12, it contains the celestial Jerusalem, the Temple, and the Altar.
- Makon (???????, Makhon ): The fifth paradise is under Samael's administration. This is also where the Ishim and Song-Ulten Choirs are located.
- Zebul (???????): The sixth heaven is under Sachiel's jurisdiction.
- Araboth (????????, Aravoth ): The seventh skylight, under the leadership of Cassiel, is the purest of the seven heavens because it houses the Throne of Glory attended by the Seven Angels and serves as the territory where God dwells; under the throne itself lies the residence of all the souls of the unborn child. It is also regarded as the home of Seraphim, Cherubim, and Hayyoth.
Mesoamerican Religion
The Nahua people like the Aztecs, Chichimecs and Toltec believe that heaven is built and separated into 13 levels. Each level has from one to many Lords who live in and rule this sky. The most important of these paradises is Omeyocan (Place of Two). The Thirteen Heavens is ruled by Ometeotl, the double God, the creator of Dual-Genesis who, as a man, takes the name Ometecuhtli (Two Lord), and as a woman named Omecihuatl (Two Lady).
Polynesia
In the myth of the creation of Polynesian mythology found various concepts about the sky and the underworld. It differs from one island to another. What they share is the view of the universe as an egg or coconut that is divided between the human world (earth), the world over the heavenly god, and the underworld. Each of these is divided in a similar way to Divine Comedy Dante, but the number of divisions and their names differs from one Polynesian culture to another.
M? ori
In the M? Ori, oversi dibagi menjadi sejumlah alam. Suku-suku duplicate your name on the top of the page, and then you can use it as a result. Salah satu versi yang lebih umum membagi onga dengan demikian:
- Kiko-rangi, yang dipimpin oleh dewa Touma
- Waka-maru, overga sinar matahari dictionary
- Inside, on the inside of the tempat dewa Maru memerintah
- Health, become a roh-roh anak-anak powered by aisle yang baru lahir berasal
- Examples, cotton cabinets
- Nga-atua, yang diperintah oleh pahlawan Tawhaki
- Autoia, tempat jiwa manusia dibuat
- Aukumea, temper para roh tinggal
- Soul, tempat para dewa roh tinggal sambil menunggu yang ada di
- Advanced template, tempat para dewa besar hidim dipimpin oleh Rehua
M? Ori believes that this paradise is supported by pillars. The other Polynesians see them supported by gods (as in Hawaii). In a Tahitian legend, heaven is supported by an octopus.
Paumotu, Tuamotus
The Polynesian conception of the universe and its division is illustrated well by the famous image made by the leader of Tuomotuan in 1869. Here, the nine heavens are further divided into left and right, and each stage is related to the stage in the evolution of the earth described below. The lowest division is the period when heaven hangs low above the earth, populated by animals unknown to the islanders. In the third division is shown the first murder, first burial, and the first canoe, built by Flat. In the fourth division, the first coconut trees and other important crops were born.
Sikhism
According to Sikh thought, Heaven and Hell are not places to live in the afterlife, they are part of the spiritual topography of man and there is no other way around. They refer to the good and evil stages of life each and can be lived now and here during our existence in the world. For example, Bhagat Kabir rejects another world of Heaven in Guru Granth Sahib and says that one can experience Heaven on Earth by doing a saint company.
Theosophy
It is believed in Theosophy of Helena Blavatsky that every religion (including Theosophy) has its own paradise in various regions on an astral plane that matches the description of heaven given in every religion, which the soul that has been good in their previous life on Earth will go. The astral celestial spaces over the Earth in the upper atmosphere where the various paradises reside are called Summerland (Theosophists believe Hell lies in the astral plane of the Earth's bottom that extends down from the earth's surface to its center). However, Theosophists believe that the soul is drawn back to Earth after an average of about 1400 years by the Lords of Karma to reincarnate again. The last heaven spent by the soul for billions of years in the future after they complete their incarnation cycle is called Devachan .
Criticisms of trust in Heaven
Anarchist Emma Goldman expressed this view as he wrote, "Consciously or not, most theatricalists see gods and demons, heaven and hell, reward and punishment, whips to attack people into obedience, gentleness and satisfaction."
Many people consider George Orwell to use Mount Sugarcandy in his novel Animal Farm to become a literary expression of this view. In the book, the animals were told that after their miserable lives ended they would go to a place where "it's a seven-day week week, clover in season all year, and granulated sugar and hemp cakes grow in the hedge".
Some people argue that belief in rewards after death is a bad motivation for moral behavior while still alive. Sam Harris writes, "It is somewhat nobler to help the pure people out of concern for their suffering than to help them because you think the Creator of the Universe wants you to do it, or will reward you for doing it, or will punish you for not doing it. between this religion and morality gives people a bad reason to help others when good reasons are available. "
Neuroscience
In Inside the Neolithic Mind, Lewis-Williams and Pearce argue that the tiered structure of Heaven, together with the same structured Hell Circle, is neurologically perceived by members of many cultures throughout the world and through history. His reports are very similar across the space and time that Lewis-Williams and Pearce argue for neuroscience, accept perceptions as real neural activation and subjective perceptions during certain altered state of consciousness.
