Greet people with a cheerful face
- The practice
- When you meet someone, meet them with a warm, cheerful face, and count it as a good deed.
- When
- Meeting someone (at home, work or the mosque)
- In daily life
- Smile at the colleague by the coffee machine, the cashier, the neighbor in the lift, and your own family when you walk in after a long day. It costs you nothing, and it still counts as a good deed.
