💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Checklist to determine how soft and pure your heart is:
Have you, at least once, cried whilst reading Qur'an verses?
Shed tears when you overslept and Tahajjud was missed?
Had tears streaming down as you seek Allah's Forgiveness?
Wet your hijaab or prayer mat while you've repented?
~•~
Or do you cry when watching sappy romance movies?
When you're informed of the death of fave celebrities?
When sports teams you're cheering for fail to gain victory?
When someone discovers your shameful net history?
When reciting lines from melodramatic stories?
~•~
Can your heart express its purity, sincerity
And real love for Allah through releasing heartfelt tears?
Can you weep for Allah Who always sees you and hears
Your innermost cries and needs when loved ones disappear?
Can you cry, relieved, knowing Allah is the Most Near?
~•~
Tears don't state you're weak, but your heart is truly sincere.
They fall humbly for Allah the One Whom you most fear,
Who knows precisely what you need when people can't hear
The sorrow behind some of your smiles and words you speak.
Tears you pour out for Allah are proofs your soul is clean.
~•~
Be humble enough to cry to Allah faithfully,
Praying for Allah's Love, that in both worlds you succeed,
That Allah forgives all wrongs you did ignorantly,
That your heart inclines to doing good deeds patiently,
And your tears leave trails towards earning Jannah's entry.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated that Allah's noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "There are seven persons whom Allah will shade on a Day when there is no shade but His. They are a just ruler, a young person who grew up worshipping Allah, a person whose heart is attached to the mosques, two persons who love each other and who meet and depart from each other for the sake of Allah, a man whom a beautiful woman of high status seduces but he rejects her by saying 'I fear Allah', a person who spends in charity and conceals it such that his right hand does not know what his left hand has given, and a person who remembered Allah in private and his eyes are filled with tears."

📖 Mu’awiyah Ibn Haydah RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Three eyes will not see the Hellfire: An eye standing guard in the Way of Allah, an eye weeping from fear of Allah, and an eye lowering its gaze from what Allah has forbidden."
