Q What do Bahais believe about the afterlife, heaven and hell?
A Bahais believe that the soul is immortal and continues to progress spiritually through an infinite series of spiritual realms after physical death. In Bahai theology, heaven and hell are not physical places; rather, heaven is a state of spiritual closeness to God, and hell is a state of spiritual remoteness or distance from God.

What is Afterlife?In religion, the afterlife (also referred to as life after death or the Hereafter) is the concept of a realm, or the realm itself, in which an essential part of an individual's identity or consciousness continues to exist after the death of the body in the individual's lifetime. Some belief systems, such as those in the Abrahamic tradition, hold that the dead go to a specific plane of existence after death, as determined by god based on their actions or beliefs during life.

What is Bahai?The Persian religion known as the Baha 'i Faith was established in the 19th century to unify all humankind, and is still practiced in more than 200 countries and territories all over the world.
