Abstract

Intolerance and societal discord have become pressing issues in contemporary Pakistan, undermining the nation's harmony and well-being. This article explores the profound impact of smiles as a means to combat intolerance and foster a more peaceful society. Drawing inspiration from the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), who advocated smiling and kindness, we delve into the religious, moral, medical, and social benefits of this simple yet powerful gesture.

By shedding light on the disadvantages of intolerance, this article highlights the urgency of change. We discuss how smiling not only reduces social aversion but also uplifts individual moods, making it a potent tool for enhancing overall well-being. Supported by modern medical science, this practice offers physical and mental health benefits.

This article advocates for the revival of the Sunnah of smiling in Pakistan, emphasizing its potential to bridge divides, reduce conflicts, and promote peace, ultimately contributing to the nation's overall prosperity and happiness.
