Should We Really Laugh?

Hasan al-Basri (rahimaullah) was a famous researcher and devout individual of his time. He would infrequently snicker because of his recognition of death and the discipline of damnation. One day he was going some place when he saw a young fellow indugled in chuckling. Hasan al-Basri asked the adolescent, "Young fellow, have you officially crossed the extension of Sirath? Have you officially seen if you are going to heaven or damnation?" The young fellow answered, "No." Hasan al-Basri let him know, "At that point for what reason are you snickering such a great amount?" After that, nobody saw this young fellow giggling again as he came to know the truth of this life.

The sahabah used to do great deeds throughout the day yet at the same time cry amid the night to Allah. Then again, we do sins throughout the day and still have no worries! It is passable to chuckle at stunning things and grin while being in organization of others
