Human Happiness and Misery Between the Noble Qur’an and the Two Covenants (A Comparative Study)

When a person searches for happiness, he must search for its precursors, and if he wants to know the content of misery, he must also search for its causes. And the search is to arrive at knowing the premises of general happiness in this world and the hereafter, or knowing the causes of misery and suffering in this world before the hereafter. Access is somewhat difficult for a person, and the foundations of happiness and misery are directly related to the human relationship with his religion and with his Lord who created him.

The goal of my choice of this topic is to identify the extent to which human happiness is proven and its connection in religion, and to reveal where happiness is complete.

This research adds a scientific product about the concept of happiness and misery and the importance of this concept in the scientific and practical human life in the worldly and the hereafter.

The researcher relied mainly on two sources in his research, the Noble Qur’an and the Two Testaments, in addition to other Islamic sources represented by interpretations and sources related to Abrahamic religions, as well as other sources. The researcher chose the analytical and comparative approaches in the study of his subject, as they are the most appropriate in the appropriateness of the nature of the research

The research reached a number of results, including: happiness is belief in God and good deeds, and one of the effects of happiness mentioned in the Holy Qur’an is joy and pleasure in winning the approval of the Lord of the Worlds). Paradise for them is divine comfort and peace, but the difference is in the place of Paradise, and that fasting is one of the pillars of Islam and an important pillar and a specific time. The wretched are the ones who are angry, as a result of the sins that they commit), but in the two covenants they allowed cheating and the oath which the Holy Qur’an considers invalid, and they are among the characteristics of misery.

  Here, it became clear to the researcher that happiness and misery in the Holy Qur’an differ somewhat from happiness in the two Testaments due to matters related to their worldly comfort.
