Saying of Ibn al Qayyim (RA)




Shedding tears out of the fear of Allah!!
On the Day of Resurrection, there will be no
torment for a person who, when mentioning Allah,
sheds tears out of the fear of Allah. [Hâkîm] It is
harâm for Hell-fire to touch the eyes that weep out
of the fear of Allah. [Nasâî] On the Day of
Resurrection, everybody will cry and shed tears.
Only those who shed a tiny teardrop out of the fear
of Allah will not cry. [Isfahânî]
Hell-fire is harâm for a Believer whose eyes shed
tears for Allah. The face of a person whose cheek
has become wet with a teardrop will never fall on
bad times. On the Day of Resurrection, all things
will be measured and weighed. Of them, the tears
streaming down out of the fear of Allah are strong
enough to quench oceans of fire.[Bayhaqî]
The sins of a person whose body trembles with the
fear of Allah fall off just like leaves falling off a tree.
[Bayhaqî] Allahu ta’âlâ told Hadrat Mûsâ: “An act
of worship performed by weeping out of the fear of
Me is superior to other acts of worship.” [Tabarânî]
Janab-i Haqq [that is, Allahu ta’âlâ] declares the
following by swearing: “I shall make a person laugh
forever in Paradise who weeps out of the fear of
Me in the world.” [Bayhaqî]
A person who cries with the fear of Allah will not
go to the Fire, as milk does not go back into the
teat. [Tirmudhî] On the Day of Resurrection when
there is no protection but the protection of Allahu
ta’âlâ, one of the seven classes of people whom
Allahu ta’âlâ will take under His protection is the
one who, when he is alone, remembers Allah and is
moved to tears.[Bukhârî]
There is not a drop dearer to Allah than two drops:
a drop of tear rolling down out of the fear of Allah
and a drop of blood shed in the way of Allah.)
[Tirmudhî]
Weep! If you cannot weep, exert yourselves and
become sorrowful! If you knew the horrors of the
torments on the Day of Resurrection, you would
perform namâz until you cannot remain standing
and you would weep until your voice is hoarse.
[Bukhârî]
If all Believers were present in our mosque with
mountains of sins, all of them present there would
be forgiven for the sake of this weeping person,
because angels say: “O our Rabb! Make those who
weep the intercessors for those who do not weep
!”[Bayhaqî]
Let others know the power of tears!!
