Islamic teachings encourage us to be cheerful and to interact with people in a cordial manner. Remember, the prophet (s.a.w.s) said: “Verily you cannot afford to make people happy with your wealth, but you can make them happy by means of a cheerful face and good attitude.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Targheeb (2661). He also said: “Your smile for your brother is charity.” (At-Tirmidhi, 1879).
