The Manners of Laughing

The Manners of Laughing
فائدة .. التبسم والضحك


Benefit…smiling and laughing


The Noble Sheik Abu Abdullah Abdur Rahman ibn Sa’dee, may Allah have mercy upon him, said “Therefore Sulaiman peace and blessings are upon him, heard her (the ant’s) statement and he understood it,“So he (Sulaiman) smiled, amused at her speech” (Chapter 27 verse 19)
So he admired her advice to her nation and the good way she expressed herself. And this is the condition of the Prophets, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon them, they had complete manners and they would show admiration or be impressed at the right times although their laughter would not go beyond a smile. Such was the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings are upon him, most of his laughter was (only) smiling.
Because verily boisterous laughing ( القهقهة ) is a sign of foolishness and bad manners and not smiling and being impressed at those things that are impressive is a sign of vile character and arrogance; and the Messengers are free from such a thing.
