بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
In the Name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
A Pleasant countenance is also one of the bounties of Allah Ta'ala. A simple
way of alleviating grief and keeping the children and husband happy is to smile
at everyone. It is said that a smile is a key to the door of love. The soul is con-
nected to the mind, the mind is allied to the brain and the brain is affiliated with
the heart. Only that woman is beautiful - externally or internally - who brings
about happiness and intimacy in the hearts of the children and husband.
Put it to the test yourself. Look at the smiling countenance of a mahram (non -
stranger) and you yourself will start smiling. Looking at his smiling face and
listening to his encouraging speech is bound to kindle the spirit of happiness in
your own heart. You will want to stay close to him as well. On the contrary, if
a face lacks even a trace of a smile, a person speaks as though a hacksaw has
spliced through his face, facial features are all monstrous, nose twitching with
anger and the person screams at the children so loudly that it disturbs the neigh-
bours, then this would surely upset you. You will want to stay as far away as
possible from such a person.
A French writer says : ''The heart is most delighted when a person with a happy
countenance is seated near you. The following statement has reached us through
some book dated a few hundred years ago : ''The happiness of the heart is as
effective as good medication.''
Doctor Beauf Land says : ''Smiling and laughing is a very healthy form of exercise.
It facilitates the digestion of the food. If you are intelligent, you will continue smiling.''
Allah Ta'ala has blessed you with a beloved child, a sinless baby, a chirping bird.
Smile when you come into contact with the child. Smile and pleasantly advice him
over his faults and errors. Welcome the women guests into your home with a pleasant
countenance. Speak pleasantly with your mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Come before
your husband with a smiling face. Together with a smiling face, let your eyes also smile.
InshaAllah, in a few days time your home will turn out to be a garden of bliss, peace
and tranquility. This same home will produce leaders of the Ummah and servants of
Deen. Such children will not only be a source of coolness for their parent's eyes but
they will be the stars and luminaries and a source of comfort for the entire Muslim
Ummah. May Allah Ta'ala make every Muslim home a blessed home like this.
Ameen.
Du'a for alleviating Grief
بسم اللهِ الَّذى لا اِلهَ إلا هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الَّرحِيمُ
اللَّهُمَّ اذهِبْ عَنِّى الهَمَّ وَالحُزْنَ
''I begin in the name of Allah besides whom there is no deity. He is most
beneficent, most merciful. O Allah! Alleviate my grief and sorrow.''
(Tabrani)
Rasulullahصلى الله عليه وسلم used to recite this du'a after the Fard Salaah.
