Which religion is more helpful to gain true internal happiness???

Question

which philosophy is most effective in gaining true lasting peace and happiness. Like for example is it Christainity, Islamic or Hindism or Buddhism??

Answer 1

If you're on a searching path and your mind is open, you might start with the indigenous religion(s) of your ancestors. You may find that it's in your genes.

Answer 2

The word PEACE has got almost the same meaning in every religion. No one is harmed any where in the world is peace. As christianity and islam both have got there respective books Quran n Bible.What ever is in Bible, Quran has got that in it and has got a complete way of living infact a way to live peacefully. Peace is not maintained by religion infact its the ppl who will maintaine peace in the world. Religion will tell u how to do!, I m a muslim i will not suggest u that its Ialam. But that (You have been blessed with the power to explore and think over the world. Quran) So go ahead and first look in Bible and then in Quran u will get the answer.

Answer 3

Philosophies can never provide lasting peace and happiness.

A glimpse of self only provide it.

Philosophies r like defining a taste, which has not been experienced yet. When tasted definitions are meaning less.

Open mind helps in experiencing it. Holding on to philosophies and religious scriptures, only delays the taste of experience.

Answer 4

I agree with F_Jayce!

With religion you are resorting to a cult following that was created by people who have been dead for thousands of years. They all share good guidelines for living life, but they are riddled with contradiction & hypocrisy.

I would suggest maybe taking a few of the good things away from each religion & make your own life for yourself. You do not need religion to find "true internal happiness." You just need to be confident in yourself & enjoy your life to the fullest extent possible without causing harm to others. Be it physical, spiritual, emotional, etc...

Answer 5

A personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We must surrender our lives to Him totally. Pray. Read the Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your prayer, reading and other time.

Get to a good church that preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ and administers the Sacraments faithfully.

Keep in mind though that we cannot earn our salvation or make ourselves better. It is only through the Grace of God that anything good comes from us.

Please remember though that Jesus did not promise a warm fuzzy life on this earth and no problems. He told us if we wished to follow Him that we must take up our cross.

I understand you search. It is a journey. And I have examined a number of paths. But I can tell you that no one will give you peace in your life like Jesus can.

Should you wish to correspond further, feel free to email me.

God bless you on your journey.

Answer 6

Almost all serious religious practice requires that you find a congregation or teacher. Buddhism does. Unfortunately, in America, that augurs for Christianity and Judaism.

That said, if you're willing to do the heavy lifting of practice yourself, you can probably get there (to happiness) with any of your listed options. Even Jainism or Yoga. It's all in you.

Answer 7

Religion is man made. Jesus Christ is the Truth, the Way, and the Light. By accepting Him into my life I have been blessed every single day. His peace filled my being and I know I'm never alone. Jesus Himself warned of religions and their traditions and how they interfere with having a close relationship to God. He wants us to fellowship with other believers and study God's word and sing to Him. Jesus is also the only one who died for us out of love for humanity, that included everyone, bad and good. Muhammed didn't do that nor any other religious person, because they were not God.

Answer 8

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 9

Jesus said, "I am the truth, the light and the way. No man can get to God but through me". So, for me it is Jesus.

I've studied other religions, but none have satisfied my soul quite like being a follower of Jesus.

What will people think when the find out I am a Jesus freak? What will people do when they find out it's true?

Answer 10

No one can tell you that, the only thing you can be told is that the religion to gain true internal happiness, is the one that inspires you the most, and makes you feel serene and comfortable with yourself and your environment.
