Heaven is a paradise-like afterlife in many religions and the mythology of certain cultures. It's the home of God and the diametric opposite of Hell.
History and specifics
In Rajathan culture, Heaven is of equal status to the underworld and Rajathan monuments have ceremonial entrances into both. (TNG - The Space Between comic: "Captain's Pleasure")
In 2264, Leonard McCoy believed that Gamma Alpha V was Heaven until James T. Kirk pointed out the presence of Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring. (TOS comic: "The Legacy of Lazarus")
