In every religion, a place is assigned to a person after death in accordance with how he passed his earthly path. It could be heaven or hell. Different cultures have similar ideas about these places.

Step 1
Paradise is understood as eternal life. Whereas hell is a place where a person is doomed to torment. The concept of hell does not exist in all religions. For Buddhists, this is Naraka - one of the six realms of being. The torment here is not eternal. After overcoming the results of unsuccessful karma, a person can be reborn and even attain nirvana. Although Buddhist hell is not considered the most favorable place for rebirth. A Buddha or Bodhissattva can, out of compassion, relieve anyone of being there.
Step 2
In Christianity, the most terrible torments are addressed to those who neglected the commandments and did not forgive offenses to their neighbors. There is a long list of sins for which in Christianity a person after death will be doomed to eternal torment in hell. Moreover, the torment will be endless. But this is not so much physical as moral torment. In Orthodox literature, there are several examples of divine revelations about the structure of hell and heaven. For example, "The passage of the ordeal of St. Theodora of Constantinople." Here a detailed picture of torment is created. The terrible spiritual and physical trials through which the soul passes to the highest court, accompanied by two angels, are picturesquely depicted. Orthodoxy, unlike Catholicism, rejects the presence of purgatory, where the soul can be forgiven.
Step 3
Islam interprets Hell as a place where sinners are not forgiven by Allah or those who have not been forgiven by Allah. According to the Koran, hell is guarded by 19 formidable angels, led by an angel named Malik. A person can go to heaven or hell only after the Day of Judgment. For those who disbelieve, severe and cruel torments are prepared in hell. For example, boiling water drink, ice water torture, iron clubs, fire collars and much more.
Step 4
There is no concept of hell in Judaism. According to this religion, a person cannot do anything in order to endlessly suffer in the future. But in the representation of Judaism there is paradise. It is a heavenly garden that is located within the seven heavenly spheres. In order to get into it, the soul needs to go through a certain spiritual path. The believer knows that for this he needs to keep his body and soul clean. After the end of the world, the soul and body of a person must unite. God cannot do this if it turns out that in his life the Jew did not take care of his body.
Step 5
In the Islamic tradition, it is generally accepted that heaven is something that a person cannot even imagine. Unimaginable bliss that must be earned by good deeds and thoughts. Christianity also encourages a person not to seek heaven on earth or in heaven. According to Christian doctrine, everyone should find heaven in their own hearts. To do this, throughout your life you need to try very hard to refrain from sinful thoughts and actions.
