343. That there is a heaven for Muslims, too, is because all in the entire world are saved who acknowledge God and from religion refrain from evils as being sins against Him. As for its being divided into two, a lower and a higher, this they themselves have told me; also that they live in the lower heaven with several women, both wives and concubines, as in the world, but that those who renounce concubines and live with one wife are raised up into the higher heaven. They have told me as well that it is impossible for them to think of our Lord as being one with God the Father, but that it is possible for them to think of Him as being equal, to whom God has given dominion over heaven and earth because He is His Son. Consequently that is the belief found in those who are granted by the Lord to ascend into their higher heaven.
