51. The judgment on the heathen took place in much the same way as on the Mohammedans. But they were not taken likewise by a circuitous route, but only on a part of the road in the west, where the wicked were separated from the good. The wicked were cast into two great chasms there which slanted down to the depths. But the good were taken above the centre occupied by the Christians towards the land in the eastern quarter where the Mohammedans were; they were allotted dwellings beyond them and extending a long way into the southern quarter. However, those of the heathen who in the world have worshipped God in human form, and lived a charitable life in accordance with their own religious beliefs, are associated with the Christians in heaven, since they excel others in their acknowledgment and adoration of the Lord. The most intelligent of these are from Africa. The numbers of heathens and Mohammedans seemed to be so vast they could only be counted in tens of thousands. The judgment on such a great number took several days; for as each one is brought into his own love and his own belief, he is immediately marked, and so taken to join his fellows.
