In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

The conventional understanding is souls of believers and disbelievers must await the Day of Judgment to enter Paradise or Gehenna.

The Quran gives us great news about the death of the righteous--when their lives on this earth come to the predetermined end, they are invited to go straight to Heaven.

   The Righteous Go Straight to Paradise*
[Quran 36:26-27] (At the time of his death) he was told, "Enter Paradise." He said, "Oh, I wish my people knew. That my Lord has forgiven me, and made me honorable."
{footnote} *36:26 The righteous do not really die; they simply move on to the same Paradise where Adam & Eve lived. They join the prophets, saints, and martyrs in an active and utopian life (see App. 17: http://masjidtucson.org/quran/appendices/appendix17.html).
