What is heaven like?

Answer 1

God describes heaven as an indescribable place. We are incapable of comprehending how great it is. As great as you can imagine then take that times a million.

Here is a detailed description of Heaven:

5. Lo! the righteous shall drink of a cup whereof the mixture is of Kafur (camphor),

6. A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah drink, making it gush forth abundantly,

7. (Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide-spreading,

8. And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him,

9. (Saying): We feed you, for the sake of Allah only. We wish for no reward nor thanks from you;

10. Lo! we fear from our Lord a day of frowning and of fate.

11. Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy;

12. And hath awarded them for all that they endured, a Garden and silk attire;

13. Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither (heat of) a sun nor bitter cold.

14. The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down.

15. Goblets of silver are brought round for them, and beakers (as) of glass

16. (Bright as) glass but (made) of silver, which they (themselves) have measured to the measure (of their deeds).

17. There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil,

18. (The water of) a spring therein, named Salsabil.

19. There wait on them immortal youths, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls.

20. When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate.

21. Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink.

22. (And it will be said unto them): Lo! this is a reward for you. Your endeavour (upon earth) hath found acceptance.

What is heaven like?*

It is better than one can imagine.
Its okay... bit colder than I was expecting though...

Answer.

Heaven will be the most beautiful place that you will have ever seen. It will have trees and flowers. Houses and streets, gardens and beautiful parks. Men and women will be as if they were young again, in their most perfect condition. There will be temples and the most beautiful buildings you have ever seen. Roads will be as if paved with gold.
Man will be able to think himself to anyplace he wishes to go. People will not get old, and couples who lost children in child birth or who died before the age of accountability will have the opportunity to raize them to full man or womanhood.
Man will be able to communicte with animals and visa versa. There will be no hunger yet we will have gardens of vegitables and we will eat just like we do on earth. Love will abound everywhere. There will be no rich and no poor, everyone will be as one in the site of God. We will instantly recognise all of our deceased relatives dating back to Adam and Eve. We will be given resposibilites similar to what we had on earth. Its a bit colder than you'd expect, but nobody gets ill.

Revelation 21:4:

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them. 16 - They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17- For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Heaven is a sanctuary where there are happy endings and where anything you desire comes true. There will be no more pain, crying, or suffering where you can do anything, imagine, dream, and wish.

Another answer:

I think Heaven is what you want it to be in a way.

Heaven will be a beautiful and amazing place, a place of great joy and satisfaction in Gods presence, for there we shall see God. Heaven will also be eternal. The Bible states that there will be no sickness, pain, sorrow, crying, or mourning; no more death, hunger , or thirst. It will be paradise, a great feast. there are no words to describe how wonderful and magnificent it will be!

Another answer:

The Bible says Heaven will be very happy and wonderful.

God will wipe out every tear, you will get everything you desire, and

nothing bad will enter Heaven. Just believe in Jesus Christ and you will get to live eternal life in Heaven. You will not even be under the curse of sin anymore.

Another answer:

The easier way is for you to imagine what it will be like (make a list). Once you do that you'll realize what's missing in your life...You can change that and get your version of heaven right now while you're still alive.

Man will be able to communicate with animals and visa versa. There will be no hunger yet we will have gardens of vegetable and we will eat just like we do on earth. Love will abound everywhere. There will be no rich and no poor, everyone will be as one in the site of God. We will instantly recognise all of our deceased relatives dating back to Adam and Eve. We will be given responsibility similar to what we had on earth.

Another answer:

I think Heaven is a beautiful place with streets of gold and God the Father sitting in a pure gold chair and Jesus at his side. It has rivers and lakes with tons of fishermen catching a million fish a day. I picture mountains as far as the eye can see. I picture hunters hunting all types of big game. I picture a big restaurant serving every kind of meal you could imagine. But now one knows what it is like except people there.

Answer 2

Until Copernicus and Galileo proved otherwise, heaven was believed to be a physical place located just above the earth. We see evidence of this in both the Old Testament and the New. For example, Acts of the Apostles has Stephen look upward and, the heavens opening, see Jesus on the right hand of God (Acts 7:36). We aso see this in the Quran, which provides many descriptions of the beautiful but physical world of the hereafter. The Book of Revelation describes it as a place where God is constantly worshipped, although it does not provide much insight into the well-being of souls in heaven.

Many now envisage heaven as a purely spiritual state, thereby overcoming the problem of a physical heaven in the scientific age. It is no longer possible to imagine Elijah being taken physically up into heaven in a fiery chariot, nor Jesus ascending bodily to heaven above. On this view, it is no longer possible to accept literally that souls in heaven recline on couches or drink from silver goblets. However, Muslims generally continue to consider heaven to be a physical place, even if its location is no longer known.

Answer 3

Every religion has a different idea of what heaven is like. Some believe heaven is reliving the best parts of your life and others believe that it is a place for angels and clouds.
