Happiness is a universal objective pursued by humanity throughout history, encompassing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. This study explores the concept of happiness in Islam through the perspectives of the Qur'an, Hadith, and modern psychology, with the aim of integrating Islamic principles with stress coping theories to formulate a holistic framework for managing life’s challenges. Employing a literature review methodology with thematic and comparative analysis, the findings reveal that Islam provides a comprehensive spiritual approach through practices such as dhikr, prayer, patience, gratitude, and reliance on Allah. These practices not only alleviate stress but also fortify the individual's spiritual connection. Concurrently, modern psychology offers practical coping mechanisms, including problem-focused and emotion-focused strategies, which are effective in stress management. The integration of these approaches demonstrates significant congruence, with dhikr aligning with mindfulness and patience reflecting positive psychological acceptance. In conclusion, the confluence of Islamic teachings and modern psychology yields a holistic model for stress management and the attainment of genuine happiness. This integrated approach provides a robust framework for achieving emotional and spiritual balance, addressing the complexities of contemporary life with greater efficacy
