Your smile is a blessing from Allah (swt). There’s no limit to how much good can come from a simple, gentle, and kind smile to your fellow Muslim. As a matter of fact, one of the best things we can do as Muslims is to give Sadaqah. I’m sure we all know the Hadith of the Prophet (saw):

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) has said: ‘Your smile for your brother is Sadaqah. Your removal of stones, thorns or bones from the paths of people is Sadaqah. Your guidance of a person who is lost is Sadaqah.’ (Bukhari)

We’ll get to the second and third parts of the Hadith in the future, Insha’Allah—but for now let us focus on just the first part that says your “smile for your brother is Sadaqah“. Try to continue this habit for all days but, for today at least, smile as you continue through your day. May Allah (swt) reward us for each second we smile and any happiness that someone else feels because of it.
