The present article deals with what human happiness is and its relation to the religious knowledge of God. Saint Thomas Aquinas in the tradition of Christian philosophy, and Allameh Tabatabai in the tradition of Sadraian philosophy within Islamic philosophy have dealt with this issue and both know true happiness in knowing and oneness with God and believe that because true happiness for man, and about His ultimate goal is used, whenever man reaches full actuality in his attribute, which is the power of intellect, and realizes the highest form of intellection, s/he has attained happiness. Both interpret this complete knowledge as vision and consider it as a kind of existential union within the limits of human capacity with the transcendent origin. On this basis, the faith professed by average folk in God cannot lead them to true happiness; however, based on the principles of both philosophers, a way can be found for this problematique.
