What happens after we die?-4

Heaven Is A Place Beyond Earth

At the core of Christian belief lies an afterlife, wherein, conduct on earth will determine where you eventually end up: it's Hell for the wicked ones and Heaven for those who behave well. The Catholic Church further claims that there is an afterlife, located between heaven and hell, known as purgatory, where the spirit is purged of its sins so as to go to heaven. The Protestants, however, do not accept purgatory.

Buddhist 'No' To Afterlife

Where Buddha departed most radically from Hinduism was in his doctrine of "anatta", the notion that individuals do not possess eternal souls. Instead of eternal souls, the belief is that individuals consist of a "bundle" of habits, memories, sensations, desires, and so forth, which together delude one into thinking that he or she consists of a stable, lasting self. Despite its transitory nature, this false self hangs together as a unit, and even reincarnates in body after body.

Jannat Ya Jahannum?

According to the tenets of the Muslim faith, death is the complete end of physical life and the beginning of a period of rest until the day of resurrection, when Allah judges the living and the dead.

Jain Karma In Samsara

Karma is the basic principle within Jainism. Human moral actions form the basis of transmigration of the soul (jīva). The soul is constrained to a cycle of rebirth, trapped within the temporal world (saṃsāra), until it finally achieves liberation (mokṣa). Liberation is achieved by following a path of purification. Karma not only encompasses the causality of transmigration, but is also conceived of as an extremely subtle matter, which infiltrates the soul—obscuring its natural, transparent and pure qualities. Karma is thought of as a kind of pollution, that taints the soul with various colours (leśyā). Based on its karma, a soul undergoes transmigration and reincarnates in various states of existence—like heavens or hells, or as humans or animals. Jains cite inequalities, sufferings, and pain as evidence for the existence of karma.
