Whenever you feel sad or are looking for some extra goodness points for a day,start smiling and spreading Salam. Trust me, you will start feeling recharged before you know it. That external smile for the sake of Allah(SWT) will make you feel light and happy again. When you will send those blessings on others, it will make you feel blessed too.

But sometimes even the simplest of acts like smiling at others and being the first in saying Salam can become cumbersome, specially for us, sisters. When your ego takes the best of you and you start thinking negatively like when I smiled at that sister or friend last time she did not even notice, I will not greet her again or like Why do I have to be the one to send the blessings first always. These are the thoughts that will never make you feel good. Just remember the greatness Islam has placed on smiling and being the first in greeting other fellow Muslims and tell yourself I am doing it for myself and Allah(SWT) only and my reward is with Allah(SWT) too and believe me it will make things easier for you.

So, the next time, your Iman battery is running a little low, charge it fast with the two easiest Ss of sadqa, Smile and Salam and you will start feeling Re-Iman-ed in no time 🙂
