By chanting the holy names of the Lord one can lead a nice life and at the end of the life go back to the spiritual world not to come again to this temporary miserable material world. Why chanting holy names?. Because it is the process mentioned in the scriptures as you can see below.
A yuga has a unique process(yuga dharama) to lead a nice life.
1. In Satya yuga, the yuga dharma is meditating on Vishnu
2.Treta-yuga by performing sacrifices
3.Dvapara-yuga by serving the Lord's lotus feet
4. Kali-yuga the yuga dharma is chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra as mentioed in Srimad Bhagavatam(12.3.52).
There are similar verses
Vishnu Purana (6.2.17), Padma Purana (Uttara-khanda 72.25) and Brihan-naradiya Purana (38.97):
"Whatever is achieved by meditation in Satya-yuga, by the performance of sacrifice in Treta-yuga, and by the worship of Lord Krishna's lotus feet in Dvapara-yuga is obtained in the age of Kali simply by glorifying the name of Lord Kesava."
Brahma-vaivarta Purana also says,
"Thus in the age of Kali the practices of austerity, yoga meditation, Deity worship, sacrifice and so on, along with their various subsidiary functions, are not properly carried out, even by the most expert embodied souls.
One can lead a nice life by chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra as explained by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
The word Hare is the form of addressing the energy of the Lord, and the words Krishna and Rama are forms of addressing the Lord Himself. Both Krishna and Rama mean the supreme pleasure, and Hara is the supreme pleasure energy of the Lord, changed to Hare in the vocative. The supreme pleasure energy of the Lord helps us to reach the Lord. . .
These three words, namely Hare, Krishna and Rama, are the transcendental seeds of the maha-mantra. The chanting is a spiritual call for the Lord and His energy, to give protection to the conditioned soul. This chanting is exactly like the genuine cry of a child for its mother's presence. Mother Hara helps the devotee achieve the Lord Father's grace, and the Lord reveals Himself to the devotee who chants this mantra sincerely. . .
No other means of spiritual realization is as effective in this age of quarrel and hypocrisy as the maha-mantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

Never react instantly to anything that may happen. Keep your cool under any circumstances. Treat everyone with love and get loved by others.Be fair and honest in all your dealings with yourself and others.Keep remembering your creator and for all the good things he has given you.

Muslims have their own Code of Life ie the Holy Quran and the last Prophet born in Makkah. They need not think and act on their own and have to blindly follow Islamic commands.
Muslims firmly believe in only one creator ALLAH. He is alone and nobody like Him. He is neither born to another nor any other born to him. He holds all powers and controls. He sent many messengers for people's guidance and lastly his Prophet in Makkah. He revealed many holy books upon his messengers (Prophets) for public guidance and lastly the Quran.
Islam teaches People to refrain from idol worshipping, falsehood (telling lies), bribery/corruption, intoxication, pre/extra marital unwed sexual relations, killing/harming innocent, earning dishonestly, wastage of resources, backbiting, theft, robbery, extortion, and all sins/crimes listed therein. It is Muslims' complete Code of Life to guide them at every stage at any place/time how to and how not to: earn/spend, marry, live, travel, maintain public/private relations, conduct business, etc. Islamic teachings are open, written, clear and unambiguous. One need not refer any commentaries to understand them.
They teach universal brotherhood and peace; to fight against terrorists to ensure justice to depressed and victims, to help the needy and weak, to maintain peace and public tranquility, etc. Muslims are bound to honour all other religions and their Heads.
Without studying all religious books, innocents claim that all religions teach the same and everybody believes and worships the same creator. It is absolutely wrong and misguiding.
