Jainism is a [[transtheistic]] religion,{{sfn|Zimmer|1953|p=182}} holding that the [[Jainism and non-creationism|universe was not created]], and will exist forever.{{sfn|von Glasenapp|1925|p=241}} It is independent, having no creator, governor, judge, or destroyer.{{sfn|Long|2013|pp=83–85}}{{sfn|von Glasenapp|1925|pp=241–242}} In this, it is unlike the Abrahamic religions and the theistic strands of [[Hinduism]], but similar to Buddhism.{{sfn|von Glasenapp|1925|pp=241–243}} However, Jainism believes in the world of heavenly and hellish beings who are born, die and are reborn like earthly beings.{{sfn|von Glasenapp|1925|pp=247–249, 262–263}}{{sfn|Dundas|2002|pp=20–21, 34–35, 74, 91, 95–96, 103}} The souls who live happily in the body of a heavenly celestial do so because of their positive karma.{{sfn|von Glasenapp|1925|pp=262–263}} It is further stated that they possess a more transcendent knowledge about material things and can anticipate events in the human realms.{{sfn|von Glasenapp|1925|pp=262–263}} However, once their past karmic merit is exhausted, it is explained that their souls are reborn again as humans, animals or other beings.{{sfn|von Glasenapp|1925|pp=262–263}}{{sfn|Dundas|2002|pp=91, 95–96}} The perfect enlightened souls ''with'' a body are called ''[[Arihant (Jainism)|Arihants]]'' (victors) and perfect souls ''without'' a body are called ''[[Siddha]]s'' (liberated souls). Only a soul with human body can attain enlightenment and liberation. The liberated beings are the supreme beings and are worshipped by all heavenly, earthly and hellish beings who aspire to attain liberation themselves.{{Sfn|Jaini|1980|pp=222–223}}{{sfn|Zimmer|1953|p=182}}{{sfn|Rankin|Mardia|2013|p=40}}
