12.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…
Activity: Heaven is described in the Bible, especially in the book of Revelations, but in other places also.
In some places, it is described as indescribable, in other words, cannot be put into words. We have
learned that Muslim literature describes Heaven and who will go there. But their description of Heaven
differs considerably from that of the Bible. Can you think of some major differences and list them
here?
