I find myself happier as a Muslim, then as a Christian or secular-humanist (with no rules) Does Islam make you happy?

Peace Be With u, brother.
We are made of 2 things : Body and Soul. When our body starves we eat food, drink water and pay huge amount of medical bills when we are body is ill to try to keep our body in the best possible shape. But what abt our Soul? what do we do for our Soul when it starves or need attention when it gets sick. Most of the ppl do NOTHING abt it, so thats why they have a feeling of depression from the inside, even though they fulfill every physical need (like health & money) that anyone can wish for, but still they dont feel happy. who do u think need most of the expensive mind relaxant pills? mostly the rich ppl, 'coz their Soul is Starving and they Know Nothing abt it. and likewise, u will usually find a spiritual person (Even he is poor) going to sleep without any pills, 'coz his Soul Needs are fulfilled, and so his mind is relaxed, and he feels happy abt his life (with even what little resources he has).
So, when Muslims, atleast offer compulsory prayers (5 times) of the day, they take care of the Soul Needs on the regular basis everyday. 'coz to be in The Presence of GOD (ALLAH) is The Need of The Soul, and we always feel relaxed after offering our Prayers, and feel contend with our lives. Islam is a Complete Way of Life, as It Not Only Satisfies the need of the soul, but also the need of the body. thus, it has both the physical and the spiritual aspect in it.
And so to conclude, that Islam provides us to lead a Happy & Contended Life satisfying all our needs. Peace to all.

As a Christian and I am so happy. I dont need to fight for my religion because my religion told me not to do so. So there is no violent, I can live and social life with all other religion because my religion dont hate other religion. Christians are peacefull, no hate, no threat, full of love and forgiveness. If there is any rules, Violent must be the main point.

I also was happy when i believed in Santa Clause...
In a life full of uncertainties, it is nice to believe in something and it is easier to conform to given set of values rather than have to think and establish your own (if you are a Muslim be a Muslim, if you are Christain be a Christain) , everyone likes a cuddle... and that is what religion is... but personally I think its a bit of cop out and a waste of the God given gifts of reason and free will.
The who responded that you need jesus to be saved is silly even jesus didnt say that.

Read the Bible and the Qu'ran, then decide which one is more plausible.
Also, read what the Qu'ran says about Christianity and Jesus and see if that measures up to historical facts eg the painless way that Qu'ran claims that Jesus (Isra) died as opposed to the traditional method Romans executed people (cruxifiction). Furthermore, what miracles did Mohammed perform? Did he die for us? Is it ok for husbands to hit their wives as the Qu'ran says? And can you experience true love when you have more than one wife or your husband is married to other women? Have you studied the origins of Allah, decended from the moon goddess Allat? I recommend a google search on some background information before you make a decision. However I also recommend you follow your heart's desire and inner intuition.

Let me see now, a secular humanist has no rules? Then how would you know one if you saw one?

Because its the right choice for you,it's a spiritual feeling for most of Muslims also maybe because we give people the choice and don't forcefully bash our religion down people throats !
Islam makes me very happy.

Personally, I'm not pleased with the religion. But, If you like it then that's okay. God (not Allah) Bless You.
