Value Of Tear

Narrated Abu Huraira: "The Prophet (ﷺ) said Allah(SWT) will give shade to seven (types of people) under His Shade (on the Day of Resurrection). (one of them will be) a person who remembers Allah(SWT) and his eyes are then flooded with tears".
[Sahih Al Bukhari]
Crying and Beseeching Allah(SWT) in times of hardship comes naturally. Especially when we are feeling helpless. This problem arises when we are surrounded with blessings and yet our heart yearns for the sweetness of crying out to Allah(SWT) either in repentance or in humble gratitude.
1. Imagine yourself lying alone in your grave.
2. Imagine your sins that Allah
(SWT) in His ultimate mercy covered and has still kept hidden.
3. Imagine seeing Hell fire.
4. Imagine standing naked on the day of judgment waiting to receive your book of deeds.
5. Imagine Allah
(SWT) turning away from you or making you blind on the day of judgment.
6. Imagine the innumerable blessings of Allah(SWT) that you DO NOT deserve yet Allah(SWT) has showered you with.
7. Imagine the diseases and hardships Allah(SWT) has saved you from which others are suffering with. Rape, Marital Abuse, Cancer, Abusive Parents and the list of evil things which could have happened but DID NOT is literally ENDLESS!
8. Last and the MOST IMPORTANT make a constant small effort to gain more knowledge. The greater knowledge you have about the ‪#‎seerah‬, names of Allah(SWT) and‪#‎Tafseer‬ of the Qur’an in'sha'Allah the greater will be your humility, fear and Love of Allah(SWT). We pray Allah(SWT) saves us from being those who have knowledge but are arrogant. Knowledge is beneficial only when it increases us in humility.
