In Islam, happiness and joy are considered important aspects of a Muslim's life.

It is believed that true happiness comes from a strong connection with Allah and a fulfilling spiritual life.
The Quran teaches Muslims to seek happiness through their devotion to Allah:
"And those who believe and do righteous deeds, they are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally." (Quran 2:82)
Similarly, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught Muslims the importance of being grateful for the blessings in their life, which in turn brings happiness and contentment.
He said in a Hadith:
"Look at those below you (less fortunate than you), so that you will never belittle the favors of Allah upon you." (Sahih al-Bukhari)
In Islam, finding joy in the small things is also considered important.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Take benefit of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death." (Sunan Ibn Majah)
Islam emphasizes the importance of spreading joy and happiness to those around us.
The Quran teaches Muslims to be kind and generous to others, as it is an act of worship:
"And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches any of you and he says, 'My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.'" (Quran 63:10)
Finally, the practice of praying five times a day is another way for Muslims to cultivate joy and happiness.
The Quran refers to prayer as a source of tranquility and peace:
"Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Quran 13:28)
Overall, the Islamic perspective on joy and happiness emphasizes the importance of spirituality, gratitude, kindness towards others, and devotion to Allah.
Muslims are encouraged to cultivate joy in their lives and spread it to others as a means of bringing peace and happiness to the world.
