Yes\nIt is Islam.\n\nIslam, a name given by Allah to this religion (Quran 5:4), is an Arabic word which literally means obedience and peace. ISLAM is derived from the Arabic root "SALEMA": peace, purity, submission and obedience. So 'Islam' would mean the path of those who are obedient to Allah and who establish peace with Him and His creatures. Its follower are called Muslims.\n\nIslam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all prophets before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. Allah says in the Qur’ân:\n\n"Say, `We believe in ALLAH and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to HIM we submit." (Qur’ân 3-85)\n\nSix main Articles of faith in Islam\n\nTo believe in the Oneness of Allah. \nTo believe in all His Angels. \nTo believe in all His Books. \nTo believe in all His Prophets. \nTo believe in the Day of Resurrection. \nTo believe in the Decree of Allah \n\nThe Five Pillars of Islam (Declaration of the Islamic Faith)\n\nIn order to enter into the fold of Islam i.e. to be Muslim, one has to know, believe, accept totally and sincerely apply the five basic principles (Pillars) on which Islam is based: Ibn Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah - Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) said: Islam is based on the following five pillars (principles).\n\nBearing witness that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah \nObservance of Prayer \nPaying Zakat \nFasting during Ramadhan \nPilgrimage to the house of Allah.

That is broad and it's hard to answer.  You don't get happiness by seeking it.  You get happiness by getting involved, caring for people and being cared for, using your talents, finding a spiritual way of being (like prayer or meditation), and taking care of your body (good food and exercise).  Doing things like this will help you to be happy afterward.  If you try to be happy first, then happiness will elude you.

A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. -Hugh Downs \n\nHappiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. -Ralph Waldo Emerson\n\nIf you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.\nIf you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.\nIf you find serenity and happiness, they may be envious. Be happy anyway.\nIf you do good today, people will often forget it tomorrow. Do good anyway.\nGive the world the best you have, and it may not be enough. Give the world the best you have got anyway.\nYou see, in the end it is between you and God, never between you and them anyway. \nMother Theresa   \n\nLove is not the place to find happiness.  Learn to be happy with yourself, and you will find happiness anywhere.  You will even be able to share it with someone you love.  \n\nAnd if you are happy with yourself, you will be better able to receive love and enjoy it more fully.\n\nWe often get caught up in struggles with someone else when what we need most is to make peace with God and within ourselves.  \n\nIf you find that you are unhappy with you, that's actually good news.  You then know where to start turning things around, and it's something you can do.  That's empowering.\n\nForgiveness is usually the place to start.  What haven't you forgiven others for?  What haven't you forgiven yourself for?  Forgiveness is the only thing that will set you free so that you can move forward.\n\nForgiveness is not saying it's okay that someone did something or that something happened.  It's releasing someone from the debt of making it up to you.  In the end, they really can't.  There is no making it up.  What we want is for the deed to be undone - and it can't be.  When you can accept that it can't be undone and you find peace with that, you can move on, unhindered by the grief that unforgiveness brings.\n\nWhatever hurts others have caused you, let it go.  Whatever expectations you had that didn't get met, let them go.  Learn to be happy with who you are and all the other disappointments in life will not be so hard to bear.\n\nWishing you much peace, happiness, and love...

Start by letting yourself be happy.  Wake up with the idea that you are going to notice and really pay attention to everything in your day - big things and small things - that you enjoy, that make you smile or just feel good inside.  Then spend your time taking the time to stop and enjoy those things.  Even the smell of a cup of coffe in the morning.  Use up all your time enjoying the good things and you won't have time to not be happy.

Virtually everything makes me happy, but then I've discovered how to be happy pretty much regardless of circumstances. You should try it sometime. I think you'd like it. :))

Making peace with myself.  Money is nice, relationship is nice.....but rather have peace with myself above all.  If have inner peace, then happiness usually follows. :-)

Unfortunately I think it's nearly impossible to achieve true peace throughout the world.  I think if we as people would look inside ourselves and try to be the best person we can be and to do good towards others instead of judging them and thinking that they should agree with us and want what we want. I think if people realized that each person choses their path and they have that a right to that choice and if we respect that there would be more peace in the world in general.  Peace begins within one's self.

Faith and religion gives me the greatest peace.\n\nSome people find peace with money, or doing good for others. Others find peace in hurting others, gossip, and money.\n\nTo each their own.

Live Life, Love, and be Happy.  I found my success and happiness through Jesus.  Maybe you will too.  My lifes direction is answered in prayer.  When I feel confused or uncertain I ask the Lord for guidance, there is always an answer, though sometimes it may not be easy, there is always a way to acheive my goals. \nBefore I asked Jesus into my heart my life was a MESS; I was broke, miserable, and lonely.  Now I own my own business, met (and married) the love of my life, and now get to do something I once only "dreamed of" doing,..to travel extensively.

1.determination -think deeply about what you really want from life\n2.flee from procastination-don't shift things till later dates,they could pile up and seem impossible later.\n3.Do things you never thought you could do\n4.Move with people who share your interests and views-when people talk about things you are less interested in,you might feel left out,so,move with the ones who have same views as you.it builds one's confidence.\n5.Have the right attitude towards life.it is how you take life that it takes you,if you take it serious,surely, you would find it easy.\n6.Being happy is something everyone wants,but, they don't work towards it.You can only be happy if you make other people happy,then the happiness is there.Being at peace with people is also another measure.Although,it is not possible to be at peace with everyone.U could at least be at peace with most.

There will NEVER be peace...there is too much greed in the world. \n\nThere will always be someone wanting more than they have...be it, money or power.

yes , there is , read from the BIBLE, or the Q'RAN or the teachings of BUDDA.. they will all guide you to a happier way.\n wherther you believe in GOD or not the teachings in those books are "the rules of living" and are as valid as the laws of physics..... i know there are doubters,,,, but they are wrong....

You will know when you're doing the right thing. Pray daily-asking God to help you and those you care about-- and Read the Bible. Attend church regularly! God will help you if you do your part. It's not just "what you do" that gets you to heaven, but are you totally committed to God. \n\nKeep on praying, and reading the Bible. Find a good church, and let God use you to help others. That's when you will be the happiest!
