[[Judaism]] focuses much less on the nature and method of entering heaven, for which the [[Old Testament]] says little, but emphasize good deeds (''mitzvot'') on this earth and generally follows univeralist tendencies.  Even [[Orthodox Jews]] rarely discuss the afterlife which is seen as unimportant, instead putting more emphasis on Philosophy, Mysticism, and especially Ethics.

[[Islam]] emphasizes belief in God and acceptance of [[Muhammed]] as God's Prophet.  There is also a physical component not found in Christianity and Judaism.  Amongst certain fringe, fundamentalist sects of contemporary Islam, if one dies in [[Jihad]], no matter how bad he had been during his life, he is immediately lifted to heaven and given 72 virgins. This view is emphasized among Islamic militant extremists ([[terrorists]]), who believe it applies to them when they kill "infidels" who they believe stand in the way of Islam.
