Usage notes

 * The use of the term “paradise” for “heaven” is much commoner in Maltese than in other traditionally Christian languages. Though such usage is not entirely alien to Christianity (cf. 23:43), it is possible that this tendency is an inheritance from the Islamic period. Among Arabic-speaking Muslims,  is the normal word for the abode of the righteous.
