Western+Religions+Afterlife+Similarities

=**__Afterlife Beliefs__**= In all three of these religions if you commit a limited amount of sins, you will live in the abode of God. =More Similarities= =__JEWISH BELIEFS__=
 * Judaism Beliefs**- There are several different beliefs among Jews in what happens in the afterlife. One of the more common is that of the Messiah coming. When this happens there will be a "Judgment Day." On this day you are judged on your past life and sent to either heaven or to hell accordingly. Then you are sent to heaven, the place for the righteous also known as Gan Eden or the Garden of Eden. **Here you are in the house of God**.

=__**ISLAM BELIEFS**__=
 * Islam Belief**- From the Koran there is a section on the last day. This talks about the "Day of Awakening" where the world will be judged. All the dead rise up and Allah judges all the people and chooses their fate. In the Koran it says that Allah will re-create all decayed bodies for judgment.(17:100: "Could they not see that God who created the heavens and the earth is able to create the like of them"?). This process begins and all of mankind walks on a bridge. Those who are waited down from their wrong doings fall into hell. Those who have not committed as many or very few walk straight through to a heavenly paradise. **In this "paradise" you are in the presence of Allah working as servant with many of his others.** **"O soul who is at rest, return to thy Lord, well-pleased with Him, well-pleasing Him. So enter among My servants, and enter My garden." (89:27-30 from the Koran)

=__CHRISTIAN BELIEFS__= The vast majority of Christians believe in afterlife. Catholics believe in it as well as Purgatory. In Christian afterlife when a person dies their physical body is separated from the soul. The soul is now judged immediately.**This determines where the person will spend eternity. Now if you have lived a sinless life you await "Final Judgment" in Heaven. In Heaven, you are in the abode of God.**
