Islam welcome jokes and humor as long as they are balanced.
Jokes and a smiling face which will serve to strengthen factors such as brotherhood and love among Muslims, conveying the message of Islam to people, warming hearts, fellowship, tolerance and forgiving are of great importance.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was warmhearted and friendly and occasionally, he joked with the people around him.
Due to his fitrah (nature) he always acted in moderation. His gentleness is also referred to in the Holy Quran: "It was by a mercy from God that, you (O Messenger) were lenient with them. Had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would surely have scattered away from about you."(Al-i Imran, 3/159).
However when he did make jokes and pleasantries, he always behaved moderately like he did in every aspect of his life.
For example, as related by Abu Hurairah, when some of his companions said to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): “O Messenger of Allah, you joke with us?”
He replied: “Yes, I do. But I only tell the truth.”
This case reveals that the most important thing about a joke is that it should tell the truth and not be offensive.
