Our Prophet's (pbuh)sincere, joyful, smiling and playful behavior is the finestmodel for all Muslims

How did the Companions describe our Prophet's (saas) joyful and smiling nature?
How did our Prophet (saas) joke with those around him?
What did the Companions say about our Prophet's (saas) sincerity and gentleness?
Our Prophet (saas) is a most worthy person of deep faith who burns
withlove and passion for Allah. The depth of our Prophet's(saas) faith
bestowed on him a great acuity, honesty and sincerity. The Prophet
Muhammad (saas)was influenced by none and feared Allah alone. He was
therefore punctilious over what is lawful and unlawful, and was well
acquainted with love, compassion and affection. Since the heart of our
Prophet (saas) rejoiced with love of Allah, this bestowed great joy
and fervor upon him.
Despite all our Prophet's (saas) responsibilities and all the
difficulties he faced,he was always lively and smiling because of the
joy of his faith and his moral values. This behavior of our Prophet
(saas), a role model for all Muslims, has come down to us through
accounts from our Prophet's (saas) Companions and wives.
Our Prophet (saas) Was Very Joyful and Smiling
Our Prophet (saas) alwaysspoke to the heart. With his joyful nature
and behavior, he told those around him of the love of Allah and the
joy of faith. Those who saw him were not only affected by his
knowledge; those who were present to hear him speak felt an easing and
relaxation in their hearts, and an ineffable joy. Our Prophet's (saas)
joyful and smiling nature produced a delight in and desire to worship
in all those who knew and saw him. Our Prophet's (saas) joyful,
smiling face and language and his spiritual depth are described as
follows by the Companions:
Hazrat Ali (r.a): "His smiling face and kind behavior to everyone made
him literally a father to the people. Everyone was equal in his sight
and presence." (Imam Muhammed Bin Muhammed bin Sulayman ar-Rudani, eat
Hadith Collection, Jam'ul-fawaid min Jami'il-usul wa Majma'ith-zawaid,
Vol. 5, İz Press, p. 33)
The Messenger of Allah was always smiling of face and pleasant
natured... (Imam Muhammed Bin Muhammed bin Sulayman ar-Rudani, Great
Hadith Collection, Jam'ul-fawaid min Jami'il-usul wa Majma'iz-zawaid,
Vol. 5, İz Press, p. 34)
The Messenger of Allah... was the most smiling and joyful of people."
( Hujjatj'l Islam Imam Gazali, Ihya'u Ulum'id-din, Vol. 2, Trans: Dr.
Sıtkı Gülle,Huzur Press, Istanbul 1998, p. 801)
Our Prophet (saas) also advised his people to havesmiling faces, and said:
"You cannot make people happy with your possessions, but you canplease
them with a pleasant face and good nature." ( Bezzar, Ebu
Yala,Taberani; Huccetu'l Islam Imam Gazali, İhya'u Ulum'id-din, Vol.
3, Trans. Sıtkı Gülle, Huzur Press, Istanbul 1998, p. 111 )
"Almighty Allah loves him who makes things easy and has a smiling
face." (Huccetü'l Islam Imam Gazali, İhya'u Ulum'id-din, Vol. 2,
Trans: Dr. Sıtkı Gülle, Huzur Press, Istanbul 1998, p. 444)
Our Prophet ( saas ) Was Very Vivacious and Pleasant-Natured
Our Prophet (saas) had a very special and profound sincerity, honesty
and closeness to Allah in his heart. This honesty meant that he
treated everyone he met with warmth and sincerity, and that he
responded to people's questions seriously and with close interest.
Hazrat Ali (r.a), one of the people closest to him, described the
climate in our Prophet's (saas) conversations and his relations with
the Companions as follows:
i. Those who took part in his conversations were hugely affected by
his honesty and sincerity.
" Rasulullah ( saas ) was the most generous of men, and had the
widestheart and most regular accent, he best discharged any task he
undertook and had the gentlest nature and finest conversations. Those
who knew him and were present at his conversations approached him with
love. One who describedhim said, 'I have never seen anyone like him,
neither before nor since.'Whenever he was asked for something, he
wouldalways give it." (Tirmidhi; Huccetü'l Islam Imam Gazali, Ihya'u
Ulum'id-din, Vol. 2, Trans: Dr. Sıtkı Gülle,Huzur Press, Istanbul
1998, p. 814)
"... He would speak of things that made peoplelove one another and
brought them close together. He would not alarm or put them off.
Heattached importance to the leader of every tribe; he would offer
food and drink ..." ( Imam Muhammed Bin Muhammed bin Süleyman
er-Rudani, Great Hadith Collection, Jem'ul-favaid min Jami'il-usul ve
Majma'iz-zevaid, Vol. 5, İz Press, p. 33)
His grandson Hazrat Hassan (r.a) said this aboutour Prophet (saas):
" His facial expressions were highly significant...He spoke
expressively (using few words to impart much meaning) and well.

Allah is everywhere

Some people imagine that they themselves, matter and the world they
see all aroundthem are all absolute beings. But they regard Allah
(surely He is beyond that) as an imagination pervading that absolute
matter. Or else, since they cannot see Him with their own eyes, they
say: "Allah must be somewhere we cannot see, in space or far away from
human eyes." (Surely Allah is beyond that.) But these are all grave
errors.
Because Allah is everywhere,not just in the sky. As the soleabsolute
being, Allah enfoldsthe whole universe, all people and places, the
heavens and everywhere. And Allah is manifested in the whole universe.
According to the hadith, our Prophet (saas) said that someone who said
that Allahwas in the sky was telling the truth. But this account in no
way conflicts with the fact that Allah is everywhere.Because if
someone at your location on Earth raises his hands and prays to Allah
and thinks that Allah is in the sky, while someone at the South Pole
turns to Allah in the same way, while someone else at the North Pole
raises his hands and yet another individual in Japan, or America or
Ecuador raises his hands to the sky in the same way and turns to
Allah, then it is impossible to speak of any fixed direction. In the
same way, if djinn, angels and demons at various pointsin space and
the universe also pray toward the skies, it will again be impossible
to speak of any fixed direction, and the situation will be one that
covers the entire universe.
We must not also forget that Allah is unfettered by time and space.
Allah's self is something different. But the manifestations of Allah
are everywhere. If someone enters a room and says Allah is not there,
he is denying Allah. The manifestations of Allah are in that room and
everywhere. Wherever you may turn, manifestations of Allah are there.
Several verses of the Qur'an state that Allah pervades all places,
that He is closer to us than our own jugular veins, and that we will
see His face wherever we look. For example, in verse 255 of Surat
al-Baqara Allah says "... His Footstool encompasses the heavens and
the earth...."Verse 92 of Surah Hud says,"...But my Lord encompasses
everything that you do" meaning that Allah also pervades what people
do.
The truth revealed in the Qur'an is clear: Allah is not only in the
skies. Allah is He Who enfolds and pervades all places. This knowledge
is provided to us by way of the Qur'an. Describing the reality of the
secret behind matter will enable people to better understand these
verses. People who realize that matter is not an absolute entity will
realize with complete clarity that Allah is everywhere at any moment,
that He sees and hears them at all moments, that He witnesses all
things and is closer to them than their own jugular veins, and that He
hears the prayers of thosewho pray.
Some verses of the Qur'an on the subject
Both East and West belong to Allah, so wherever you turn, the Face of
Allah is there. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat
al-Baqara, 115)
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is
not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the
earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His
permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but
they cannot grasp any ofHis knowledge save what He wills. His
Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation
does not tire Him. He is the Most High, theMagnificent. (Surat
al-Baqara, 255)
When We said to you, 'Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His
knowledge.' We only appointed the vision We showed you and the
Accursed Tree in the Qur'an as a trial and temptation forthe people.
We frighten them, but it only increases them in their excessive
insolence. (Surat al-Isra', 60)
There is no one in the heavens and earth who will not come to the
All-Merciful as a slave. He has counted them and numbered them
precisely. (Surah Maryam, 93-94)
And other booty you do not yet have the power to take –Allah has
already encompassed it.Allah has power over all things. (Suratal-
Fath, 21)
While Allah is encircling them from behind. (Surat al-Buruj, 20)
We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him. We are
nearer to him than his jugular vein. (Surah Qaf, 16)
If something good happens to you, it galls them. If something bad
strikes you, they rejoice at it. But if you are steadfast and have
fear of Allah, their scheming will not harm you in any way. Allah
encompasses what they do. (Surah Al 'Imran, 120)
They try to conceal themselves from people, butthey cannot conceal
themselves from Allah. He is with them when they spendthe night saying
things which are not pleasing to Him. Allah encompasses everything
they do. (Surat an-Nisa', 108)
