In Jainism, after death the soul (jiva) is not destroyed. What happens next depends on the karmas accumulated in the soul’s recent life.

• The soul leaves the body at death and its next birth is determined by karma.
• If good karma predominates, the soul may be reborn in a higher realm (like a heavenly realm) or in a prosperous human life. If bad karma predominates, the soul may be reborn in lower realms (like an animal, insect, or even one of the hells).
• All actions in this life have karmic consequences that influence future births; nothing in Jain thought is permanent except the soul itself.

• The ultimate goal is to burn all karmic particles (samvara and nirjara) so that the soul becomes pure and free from further bondage. When a soul has shed all karma, it attains Moksha (liberation) and rises to the top of the universe, known as Siddhãloka, where it remains forever in a state of perfect knowledge and bliss with no further rebirth.

• The concept of heaven and hell in Jainism is different from other beliefs: they are not permanent destinations. They are temporary states depending on karma, and the soul continues to cycle through birth and death until all karmas are exhausted.

If you’d like, I can explain how Digambar and Shvetambar interpretations differ on any specific point about death, rebirth, or moksha.
