It's definitely not the after-earth paradise of Christianity - it is an 'immortal' place so long as the world exists and a very peaceful, beautiful refuge, but only that. The 'paradise' of Christianity is corresponds more to the fate of Men - to move beyond the confines of the world to be with their creator. Heaven is explicitly not part of earth, past, present, or future; furthermore, it is the home of the creator - Aman is definitely not.
