Radiance of delight

Bismillah.

I thought Lisan al-Din should just be quiet but merry today,
so I looked for a picture that says joy

"Among the Sufi's noble traits of character is the freshness of face, cheerfulness, and joviality.
On the pages of the Sufi's face, one can see reflected the effects of that paradisiacal youthful virility which tomorrow, on Judgment Day, shall be evident and manifest...
"You will see in their faces the radiance of delight" (Qur'an 83:24)
