then which one is the word of god and gets you to heaven?

lets make the same statement for people of different religions then!! it is a blessing to have so many beautiful faiths and people who follow different ideals and expectations.

Peace philosophy

There are three aspects to Deen Islam …

Aqeedah, Fiqh, and Tasswwuf

These deal with our requirements in Iman, Islam (Shari’ah) and Ihsan

We are given the least allowable flexibility in aqeedah because that is what makes us Muslim or non-Muslim it is linked to the belief itself, then we are given more flexibility for variance in Fiqh, as this depends on how we implement practically various modes of physical rites, and ritual actions, they do not bear directly on our belief except that we must believe that RasoolAllah (SAW) did them, sanctioned them, forbade them or superseded them and so on … Then we the art of being which tries to marry the intent of worship in to each practical endeavour and optimising a mode of behaviour and character that is like or as close as possible to the archetype character of RasoolAllah (SAW).

So this is the reason why your statement cannot apply … Different religions are a matter of aqeedah … Different madhahib are a matter of fiqh.
