سيماي شادي در عهد جديد و نقد آن از چشم‌انداز قرآن كريم

The Concept of Happiness in the New Testament and its Critique from the Perspective of the Holy Quran

در عهد جديد شادي ديني و معنوي، رسيدن به رستگاري از طريق ايمان به فديه مسيح است؛ زيرا بشر در ابتدا دچار گناه ذاتي بوده و قرباني مسيح، او را باخدا آشتي داده است. از اين رو، آموزه فيض مسيح مهم ترين نقش را در راه نجات و شادي فرد مسيحي دارد. با اين تفاوت كه در ديدگاه قرآن كريم، انسان از طريق انجام دستورات شريعت و در سير تكاملي، به ارتباط با ملكوت دست مي يابد و اتصال بدان، شادي حقيقي را در سطح بالاتري براي وي فراهم مي سازد. اين مقاله بر اساس آِيات عهد جديد و قرآن كريم و از طريق مطالعه تفاسير معتبر قصد دارد مشتركات و متفرقات اين موضوع را در قرآن و عهد جديد، بررسي نمايد.

One of the questions that arises in religious discourse, is how to explain the concept and sources of joy in human life . This article examines the different debates and the same discussions on the concept of happiness in New Testament and the Quran. However this study is a basic research, for this reason, it checks only sources of happiness and joy in higher level. And we do not discuss in this article about the culture of joy and tools of happiness in life . In the New Testament, religious and spiritual happiness and reaching salvation are obtained through the belief in Christs ransom. The man at first is born with original sin and Christs sacrifice reconciles him with God. Thus, the grace of Christ plays the most important role in salvation and Christian joy. In the teachings of the New Testament, birth of Christ, the advent of Christ, faith in Christ, the ransom of Christ and the resurrection of Christ, the miracles of Jesus Christ and enduring the difficulties on the way of Christ all can create happiness and joy. And this joy will be complete by reaching the Divine Kingdom that is the purpose of the life of a Christian. In this view, man has no role in her fate and there is no talent in him to take him to perfection, Gods grace reaches men solely through Christ and the law does not have any roles in human redemption . From the perspective of the Quranic verses its wrong to have such a conception about man. True spiritual joy in Islam is explained as: Human is the submissive slave of God and God is peoples lord. Humans are completely free to reach perfection, redemption and happiness, and this freedom means subjugation to God. Human freedom increases by obeying God, and with having love toward the Gods true servants one can reach the top grades. Having a free will can lead to the infallibility and infallibility can take the man to see the Devine Kingdom. Man can see the Devine Kingdom, and there he can realize that the human is the mirror of God and when je understand this tremendous talent, he reaches the true happiness. But a Muslim can be placed in this road only if he obeys the religious laws. In this attitude the worlds hardships and shortcomings are not considered as the causes for sadness rather a Muslim would regard them as the Gods exams to take him to the perfection and in this way he can get tolerance through remembering God and reciting His verses.
