Be The Reason People Smile by Spreading Positivity (Inspired by Mustafa Hussain)
Imagine how amazing the outcome of spreading positivity to others? Helping someone that needs your help, providing one or community that is part of your life, also representing your identity in a good way, isn't it wonderful? You can be the reason people smile. You can make their days even more beautiful. See, how major your action can impact others.
Nowadays, many Muslim influencers actively representing Islam in many ways. Slowly, more and more Muslim influencers becoming known online internationally or nationally, you named it like Saleh Family, Hummi, Adam Saleh and many more. Then one day, I discovered another one.
Right after finishing my morning workout when I was surfing on YouTube, all of sudden I found whose channel was super amazing and inspiring. It is by Mustafa Hussain. I have watched all his videos and probably could not stop rewatching them over and over. Every time I watch it, I get so touched cause his content is such a heart-warming one. Why? His content is definitely can make you smile maybe have a bit teary eyes and get touched.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world"
Yes, be the change you wish to see in the world by your action. It doesn't matter how small or big it is as long as you can provide, help, and impact others within whatever action you do then you have done such an amazing job. Always. No matter how much it is, it will always be beneficial for one.
I take one example from Mustafa's action. His name is Mustafa Hussain. The young Pakistani-American influencer. He has a passion for spreading positivity and creating uplifting content. Many of his videos are centred around challenging stereotypes regarding the Muslim community.
His small acts of kindness like giving free ice cream to the homeless, paying for strangers' groceries on Thanksgiving or even giving chocolate bars attached with cute notes "Smile. You deserve to be happy." (omg what a cute one!) to random strangers became viral not only because they were uplifting, but because they represented and showed an essential message that,
"Muslims are a generous, peace-loving people who can be the pillars of their community."
Even though he has been in success and fame, Mustafa remains grounded. As London post said,
"His goal remains the same: to give, to uplift, and to spread happiness in ways that change the world perceptions on Muslims for the better. His videos reflected his lofty ambitions. "Giving Free Food for Strangers in Ramadhan", "Muslim paying for people's gas", Muslim giving strangers Ramadhan Gifts", Iftar With The Homeless On A Truck In Ramadhan", are some of his popular videos where he creates moments of sheer joy and wholesomeness."
It is absolutely inspiring me a lot.
One of my favourite Mustafa Hussain's videos is this one--Making Strangers Smile (Guaranteed To Make You Smile). And guess what? Apparently, it works! The values they demonstrate and the message of the videos are trying to convey. People reserve a soft spot for genuine reactions caught on camera. Catching these authentic smiles is a meticulous job. So, Mustafa and his best friend Ahmad explored the idea of bringing people a few smiles.
This one spread rapidly and they were overwhelmed and joyed with people's reactions, having received positive emails of people inspired by the video wanting to do the same thing in their community.
Ya Allah, he actually has made my day! *Does he make yours too, doesn't he? Oh, come on stop pretending that you are not. Hmmm? So hold your smile while reading this article, please. And don't forget to visit his social media platform!*
See, I probably couldn't stop smiling when I wrote this article. Thousand times I recheck his channel and rewatch his videos still get amazed and never get bored seeing those genuine smiley faces.

A smile is beneficial for our health. Put simply, it improves our mood because a smile releases endorphins which help us feel happier and have more positive thoughts. By this, please don't stop becoming the reason people smile. Do it your own way, no matter how small your action is, it will always make others' day.
Mustafa said,
"Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world."
I hope you are having a big smile now on your face and have a great day!
Be grateful! Thanks to God you are still alive and being here.
