Not that each and every time we cry does it show
sentimentality or weakness. Islamic guidelines actually commend us to cry a lot
for our being.. How so? Allah says: `` Those were the ones upon whom Allah
bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those
We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and
Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most
Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping’’. . ( Maryam [ 19 ] : 58 )
It is sunnah to cry in Islam, of course, not crying for any reason,
but weep for fear of Allah SWT. We should fear Allah SWT .We meant to be afraid
of him because we are all going to die and be accountable for our actions
before Him. We fear, remembering very hard in punishment for those who commit immoral.
But unlike fear of other things that make us run away. The Fear
of Allah makes us want to get closer and closer to him. This Fear brings
serenity and spiritual enjoyment matchless. The Prophet himself was one who
easily wept for fear of Allah SWT.
Crying for fear of Allah SWT, will make us get closer to Him
and always strive to please. Tears like this that could save us from the fires
of hell. We certainly want to be among the ones who will be protected and
shaded by Allah in the hereafter. At a time where there will be no shade except
Allah’s protection. A hadeeth from Abu Hurairah. He said, the Messenger of Allah
Said: There are seven categories of people that Allah will shelter on the day
when there will be no shade except His . The seventh is: a man who remembers Allah when he is alone and his eyes fill
with tears. [Bukhari, Muslim] .
We deserve to ponder if we ever cry for fear of Allah .
There must be something wrong with us . Maybe our hearts have been hardened ,
perhaps our soul are dried .Ya Allah, make us among those who when your verses
are recited, they weep and remember you as well as live their lives just for
you, just to please you, Ameen.
