Effortless Charity that helps one to increase his/her good deeds!!
Today morning I met two young and beautiful girls who were leaving to their secondary school where I smiled at them but they refused to return a smile to me which is not that costly. Then I had thought of those old days where people who even don't know the languages and are not known to each other or from a different culture; used smile at us and everyone had the habit of returning the smile which made the world and the days beautiful and positive. I think the world became a place where collecting material things have become the priority over everything and are always busy with their world and refused to give others even a small charity "Smile".
Narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily you cannot afford to make people happy with your wealth, but you can make them happy with you by means of a cheerful face and good attitude.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Targheeb (2661).
Countless scientific studies have confirmed that a genuine smile is generally considered attractive to others around us. Other studies have shed light on how the act of smiling can elevate your mood and the mood of those around you. Still. others have found a strong link between good health, longevity, and smiling. Most importantly, studies have shown that just the act of smiling (making the physical facial shapes and movements), whether the result of real joy or an act, can have both short- and long-term benefits on people's health and well being.
The believer according to the teaching of Islam must be good-natured, treat others kindly, be gentle, be cheerful, and feel at ease with people. He should be neither harsh and rough nor soft and foolish; he should not seek to please people by doing that which incurs the wrath of Allah, and he should not fear the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah. Righteousness should not prevent him from smiling or having a sense of humour and the ability to joke, and it should not prompt him to be isolated from people and refrain from mixing with them; rather he mixes with people, greets them, smiles at them these are the list of thing which is expected by Allah and His Messenger from the true believer!
May Allah help us attain these beautiful characteristics
Smile "It is a Sunnah" At-Tirmidhi (1956) narrated that Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Your smiling at your brother is an act of charity.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said "Do not regard any good deed insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face" Source: Sahih Muslim 2626, Grade Sahih
Charity, as it is traditionally understood, consists of money or various objects given by the rich to help the poor or by the strong to help the weak.But Islam beautifies its meaning as"Charity has a physical and a spiritual dimension which are thus fused into one so that a person can say in giving charity: Take this Money or take this helping hand or take this feeling!"
Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:Every good deed is charity. Verily, it is a good deed to meet your brother with a smiling face, and to pour what is left from your bucket into the vessel of your brother.Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1970, Grade Sahih
Jabir ibn Abdullah reported:Ever since I embraced Islam the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would never avoid me and I would not see him except with a smile on his face.Source: Sahih Muslim 2475, Grade sahih
Abdullah ibn Al-Harith reported:I have not seen anyone smile more often than the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhi 3641, Grade hasan
The Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] said: "Do not abuse anyone, do not look down upon any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful face."[Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 1889]
Al-Bukhaari (6035) and Muslim (2321) narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily the best of you are those who are best in attitude.”
From above Ahadeeths it is more clear “Your smiling at your brother is an act of charity.” So Let us beautify the world with our smile and gain reward
May Allah accept our efforts and make us of the best people!
Islam is the best.
