You know for example, I teach 9 - 12 year olds on Saturdays. We were learning Istinjaa the other day and everytime the words poop or pee would come up, we'd all laugh. And I mean each and everyone of us, including myself. =/
 
controlling laughter for me is the worst, if something is funny I just have to laugh- doesn't matter who's around or where it is, the worst thing is when it happens in masjids or in class :ooh:
 
Well, it sort of depends on the situation.

If you're laughing at an innapropriate time, just simply repeat in your head "Wrong place, wrong time". It works for me. The laughter dies and you'll probably be smiling instead.

If there something funny happening live, look away and laugh in secrecy. (This doesn't work for me all the time, I've tried it and I still laugh out loud. :X)

Hiding under your hijab works too. (This obviously doesn't apply to you brothers lol)


Oh, and never hold you're breath in. You'll burst out laughing big time.

Aslaamu alaaykum..
lol reading this thread just makes me giggle like a nerd ...but yeah i also have problems lol, laughing at the wrong time is a bit bad lol, as people around you think your laughing at them..
I think you should learn to smile more and try to control your laughter (not that its bad,but theres a time for it), you should think about how it deadens your heart by laughing too much..
hmm try having a hot chilli with you whereever you go lol maybe that will help keep your laughter back :p...if i had a lemon that would just make it worse for me LOL coz i will just end up thinking about how im trynna eat a lemon to keep my laughter away :\...so yeah :D....

btw did anyone else laught while reading this thread? jus lil curious indeed :\..

Wa alaaykum Salaaam
 
Read "a3oodhu billahi minashaytaan nirrajeem".. it works for me.I just stop laughing and get serious again.lol
 
OH I laugh a lot too :/ especially when I get yelled at, or inappropriate times.
If I happen to laugh during class, I put my head down on the table..seems to work..but then everyone starts asking if I'm okay.
and in other cases, I try to literally put on a straight face, but my eyes go wide and my face goes weird..

oh well, let's all just continue to live in laughter.

Well, the thing is that if I hold it in too long and there's excessive laughter, I end up snorting. Not snorting, but ... I don't know. It's sort of like if you let the water boil. It's all silent at first but once it's down boiling, it starts cracking up and whistling etc.
 
^which im sure is called snorting, but just in your description sounds ultra diferent ;D...
 
Rashad, if you wanna stop laughing, don't read this thread! And you should also think about a problem you experienced, think about a severe pain you experienced or you've seen someone else go through, think about sickness, hospitals, death, Jahannum, the grave etc......... I'm sure you not smiling now ...........
 
Just let it go for now, sooner or later you will get tired of laughing.

After 17 years of letting go, it doesn't seem like it.

I don't want to get tired of laughing. I just want to be able to control it.

lool that's really embarrassing ;D
Sometimes, during exams, I can't control my laugh when I hear a joke from some stupid guy in the next table, I just laugh loud while people are writing and concentrating on the paper and that's really horrible.

You're right. Insha'Allah, I'm gonna try that today and let you know the results.
 
Forum of over 20K could not resolve this issue. Disappointing.
 
my sister had this problem back in the days and she would get me started too. then she'd 'advice' me to think of something that happened in the past that wasn't really great. then she'd herself come up with some personal story of how she fell off from the chair (which wasn't so great) but would crack her (and me) up all over again... lol.

but yeah, i think the remedy for this would be to think of upsetting events that has happened in one's life and what fate has in store for us... that's surely not something funny, rather it's quite nerve wracking.
