Muslims Concept of Heaven

He says that he doesn't want to go as a Muslim to the heaven where there will be Muslim murderers and no non-Muslim saviors of lives and humanity.

A crazy man told me some very strange things about Islamic heaven (jannah or jannat). He told me that it is not a place where only morally pure people will go. The people there will not necessarily be all good. Anyone who has said some specific Arabic words by tongue will go there, regardless of his/her characters and behavior towards his/her fellow creatures. He said that a murderer, a thief, deceiver, and any type of corrupt and bad person can go there, as long as he has said those Arabic words. All this doesn't make heaven an all-good place. The funny thing is, no matter how good a person is to fellow creatures in the world, and no matter how selfless s/he is in being a good person, s/he will not go to heaven unless s/he says the given Arabic words. Isn't it strange?

I told him that according to Muslims believe bad Muslims will go to hell first and then after spending a lot of time there as a punishment, they will go the heaven in the end. But he responded that a time will come when all bad Muslims will be in heaven, and all good people will be in hell due to not saying those Arabic (kind of magic) words.

This made me speechless.
