Smilies

[quote]I think you misunderstood something here, 
ummjuwayriyah.

1) Relax.  There is no need to be so serious and there is no haram in smiling or laughing.  God gave us life and he gives us free permission to enjoy the good of life because this is a ni'ma from him to us and we musn't forget this.

2) “He joked but never said anything except the truth.”

This here means that the prophet DID tell jokes, but he never lied to people.  For example, if i decide it is funny to tell you your mother died (God forbid), and lie to you about it...then this joke is haram of course! But if i tell you a joke, and you know it is a joke, then you are not lying in any way and all you are doing is enjoying what God gave you.

Plus, laughing is beneficial to your health in so many ways, that, if you list all the benefits, you could very well classify telling jokes as mostahab! Being serious too much is harmful to your physical and mental health, and it is haram to harm yourself, and mostahab and in times fard to make your health better.

Enjoy the life God gave you.
