The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother.[1]
Apart from this world, the world of God which we know most about is the next world. In Christianity humanity learned about heaven and hell, and in the Bahá'í Faith we learn that these are essentially different parts of the next world. The Bahá'í Faith describes the next world to some extent but at the same time explains that since the above quote is true, it is very difficult to understand what the next world is like. This website describes it to some extent.
Know thou of a truth that the worlds of God are countless in their number, and infinite in their range. [2]
On our journey back to God, we pass through these worlds. The worlds beyond the next world have been mentioned in Hinduism and Sikhism as well as in the Bahá'í Faith[3]. Here we will mostly be concerned with the lower worlds since they are the most relevant to our purpose.
