You people think I am kidding here. It it was that simple that christians, jews, Hindos, budas will also go to heaven then Muslims would simply take one of those religious and forget abt Islam. Islam is a special religion and has many commands to follow. These commands are not easy. One of it is to pray on time 5 times a day. Many Muslims have failed doing so. If other religious would subtitute Islam and people would go to heaven, then believe me, I would be the first one to join. Think of chritians, praying once a week and the rest you are free, think of Hindus, praying for animals and pictures and that's is that, think and think and think......
One way or another, Islam is a perfect religion and the only one to take you to heaven. Either you like it or not, Islam is your last exam to enter the heaven.

According to Imam Ghazzali there are two types of worshippers that worship God.
One type are those who are motivated by the blessings of paradise/fear of the hereafter
Such worshippers are likened to slave who ONLY serves his master because he will be paid at the end of the day...the slave who fears that if he messes up he will be punished by his master.
The second type of worshipper is the admirable worshipper who worships God for the sake of God.
Such worshippers are likened to the person who looks upon his beloved for the sake of the beloved, not because his beloved gives him silver and gold…..but because he seeks his Beloved’s pleasure, love and nearness.
An act of worship done for the love of Allah (swt) is a higher station than those acts done out of fear of hellfire/Day of Judgement.
This is a common understanding among scholars throughout the ages, including Imam al Ghazali.
This view does not belittle the fear of punishment, but it does assign a higher station to guiding ones conduct out of awe of God and a heightened sense of His majesty and greatness.
The zahid (ascetic) does what he does for no other reason than the pleasure and love of God. This is the highest action. In Islam, the essence of asceticism is lack of want.
Striving with the energy of hope is more exalted than being compelled by fear.
It is clearly said that those who do not believe in ALLAH and Rasoul Mohammed (PBAH) shall be sent to hell. This is why we say "ASH'HADU AN'NA LA ILAHA ILA L'LAH WA AN'NA MOHAM'MADAN RASOUL LA L'LAH) which says something like " I BELIEVE THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BUT AL'LAH AND THAT MOHAM'MAD IS HIS PROPHIT".
