A non Muslim asked some questions from my friend who is living in Dubai, please answer these questions.

who deserves to go to heaven? Who goes to heaven? How to go to heaven?

Do u want to go to heaven? What will u do there? Who would u like to meet there?

Why do they say heaven and hell is eternal – forever and ever and no way out and also it says that people will be punished on their mistakes then be taken to heaven.

Which one is better. The first to know there is either heaven or hell or or or the second, when people live as they like knowing that they will eventually go to heaven.

Answer

see Ashrafuljawab by Ml Ashraf Ali Thanvi for detail. here r  short answers:

who deserves to go to heaven? Who goes to heaven? How to go to heaven?

All religions have 

1.     faith of a perfect n abstract personality who is the creator of this universe  for the judgement of human and Jinn.

2.     similarly all have the concept of Prophets and 

3.     its also clear that different prohet came in different ages and places and

4.      people of that age were ordered by that prophet to accept him and left the rulings of previous one.

now u can analyse and understand which religion should be followed nowadays, that is:

• The one that came into being in the last.
• whose prophet called him last prophet
• that has message for people of all places

 hence we can say: Islam is the finally launched religion by the ultimate creator.

It means nowadays only Islam’s follower can qualify for Heaven.

Why do they say heaven and hell is eternal – forever and ever and no way out and also it says that people will be punished on their mistakes then be taken to heaven.

Heaven and Hell are eternal in future sense and were created in past by Allah. So there is no conflict.

Which one is better. The first to know there is either heaven or hell or or or the second, when people live as they like knowing that they will eventually go to heaven.

The first one is better bcaz we have faith in that God who plans everything and make the universe for judgment not for entertainment. and definitely only such a person will work hard to get him out of the hell.
