Smile and positive emotion are felt most often even in bad situations. Smiling not only uplifts personal spirits but also positively influences those around. Following the Islamic teaching and the sunnah of the Prophet (saw), it serves a dual purpose of self-comfort and encouragement for others. A smile can be a sign of reward whenever it is shared, acting as a bridge of kindness and compassion. Some prophetic verses mention that a smile is sadaqah to others. This emphasizes its significance as an act of charity. It costs nothing but offers immense value. Let us all show smiles, as this positive emotion brings good to others and to ourselves, fostering a community of joy and understanding in our daily interactions. By spreading smiles, we contribute to a more harmonious environment, where upliftment and gratitude become the norm.
