'''[[Heaven]]''' is a common religious cosmological or transcendent supernatural place where beings such as deities, [[angel]]s, souls, [[saint]]s, or venerated ancestors are said to originate, be enthroned, or reside. According to the beliefs of some religions, heavenly beings can descend to [[Earth]] or incarnate and earthly beings can ascend to Heaven in the afterlife or, in exceptional cases, enter Heaven without dying. | |||
Heaven is often described as a "highest place," the holiest place, a paradise, in contrast to [[hell]] or the underworld or the "low places" and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, or other virtues or right beliefs or simply divine will. At least in the [[Abrahamic religion]]s of [[Christianity]], [[Islam]], and some schools of [[Judaism]], as well as Zoroastrianism, heaven is the realm of afterlife where good actions in the previous life are rewarded for eternity (hell being the place where bad behavior is punished). | |||
