Concept of Heaven

The Quaran and Hadiths state that a Muslim man will

get 72 virgins (Houris) when they go to heaven. In

Sahih Bukhari Volume 6, Book 60, Number 402

Narrated Abdullah bin Qais, Allah's Apostle said, "In

Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single hollow

pearl sixty miles wide, in each corner of which there

are wives who will not see those in the other corners;

and the believers will visit and enjoy them..."

In Sikh dharma, Heaven is considered a part of the

samsara cycle and not the same as liberation. The

aim of a Sikh is to attain Mukti or liberation from the

cycle of birth and death and this includes the 7 hells

and 7 heavens.
