سیمای شادی در عهد جدید و نقد آن از چشم‌انداز قرآن کریم

در عهد جدید شادی دینی و معنوی، رسیدن به رستگاری از طریق ایمان به فدیه مسیح است؛ زیرا بشر در ابتدا دچار گناه ذاتی بوده و قربانی مسیح، او را باخدا آشتی داده است. از این رو، آموزه فیض مسیح مهم ترین نقش را در راه نجات و شادی فرد مسیحی دارد. با این تفاوت که در دیدگاه قرآن کریم، انسان از طریق انجام دستورات شریعت و در سیر تکاملی، به ارتباط با ملکوت دست می یابد و اتصال بدان، شادی حقیقی را در سطح بالاتری برای وی فراهم می سازد. این مقاله بر اساس آِیات عهد جدید و قرآن کریم و از طریق مطالعه تفاسیر معتبر قصد دارد مشترکات و متفرقات این موضوع را در قرآن و عهد جدید، بررسی نماید.

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

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 Christ's ransom. The man at first is born with original sin and Christ's 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, God's grace reaches men solely through Christ and the law does not have any roles in human redemption . From the perspective of the Quranic verses it's 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 people's 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 God's 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 world's hardships and shortcomings are not considered as the causes for sadness rather a Muslim would regard them as the God's exams to take him to the perfection and in this way he can get tolerance through remembering God and reciting His verses.
