Heaven, in the religious sense, refers to a place believed to be accessible after life on earth. Different religions have different beliefs about who will go to heaven, as well as what the experience of heaven will be like. It is generally perceived as a place of reward, in contrast to Hell, which is portrayed as a place of punishment.
