Thanks for the information! :)

Not being familiar with this kind of prayer, I am probably not qualified to answer the question ... :X

I know many will take this the wrong way...So I'm goin to make this clear, I'm not sayin this to show off or anything...But if I can get emotional in front of my lord, then anybody can :)

Well.......Usually at tahajjud time....when I think of the meanings of what I read(i tend to make it 1 1/2 Juz long)...And certain parts make me...emotional...a bit.....

Yeh, 'duaa' or 'dua' is prayer when you ask Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) for things (happiness, forgiveness, help, good exam results, anything) in fact it is basically any prayer which is not 'salah'. 'Salah' is the prayer that you make 5 times a day which has set words and positions. I hope that makes sense.

As for the question...I don't cry during dua, I may have once or twice but probably because I was just a bit emotional at the time lol...does the person who wrote the thread???

Assalamu Alaikum

Out of curiosity, how many people here cry when making duaa'? How do you feel when you cry in your duaa'?
Yea I do alhemdulilah, but how to describe it lol
to sum it up:
weak
incredibly thankful
overwhelmed

Everyone has their own feeling that is undescribable because it is between them and their Creator.

If the khateeb or Imaam who is leading gets emotional, then yes it does have an effect on me. If tears flow for the sake of Allah, it is indeed a great ni'ma (blessing) from Allah, it is a sign of humility and taqwa.

The Prophet (Sallallaahu alayhi wa Sallam) said: "Whoever cries because of the fear of Allaah, Hell-fire will not touch him."

^^^ Same for me.. Usually if the person doing dua has a nice voice and you can hear his sincerity, then ya, it hits my heart...

Hits the most during the story of Karbala and Imam Hussein... Cause we have the best voiced poets come out and wowww... like just hearing them makes you want to start balling. It opens your heart a lot... I love that feeling.

I cry.....
Not to show off (MayAllah keep me from that Amin ) But whenever I make a special Dua' to Allah duringst my Tahajjud it overwhelms me and I cry because I just feel like.....I'm right in front of my Rabb, at the time when he says "Are there any of my servants who are asking of me so I can give them? "
I dont know.......but do you guys feel the same? that you have so much concentration during Tahajjud than the regular prayers? I do...

And I cry if I hear beautiful recitation of the Qur'an and I listen and ponder on the meanings
Also I cry if I hear a very good talk on Death....:'( May Allah make the process of dying easy on us and Give us Husnul Khaatimah Ameeeeeeeeeeen

when you cry because of the fear of Allah, the hellfire cannot touch where the tears touched you........so next time you cry in duaa', make sure you rub your tears all over.......lol!

May allah enable me to have such taqwah inshallah,

in this previous holy month of Ramadan, on the odd nights in the last ten days leading up to laylat_ul_qadr, after the taraweeh prayer and zikr, the time 4 dua came...the imam encouraged us to cry..'and if we could not cry before our lord then try to cry'...these were the blessed last ten days, the days of mercy...the days leading to laylatul Qadr (night of power) which is better than a thousand months...we should ask 4 forgiveness as much as possible, for the reason that we dont know if we;ll make it 2 next years ramadan.... it was after a very emotional speech and then a extremely emotional dua that i had tears flowin down my face, and it wern't me only the imam had a whole load of others cryin 2. i think this was the 1st time i had ever had tears flowing whilst in supplication...

Salamu alaikum,

They're both the same, I agree that it doesn't really matter what you call it but I think the reason we say duaa instead of prayer is because we like to use Allah's (subhana wa ta'ala) beautiful words from the Qu'ran :) (well I try to even if I say them wrong sometimes lol).
Also it's easier to say duaa and Salah rather than prayer as that can refer to either, so if we say duaa and Salah we all know what we're talking about.

Salam :)

I don't think we should boast of our levels of imaan and taqwa when making du'a. If one cries because s/he is emotionally overcome then that is a good sign. One should not force oneself to cry. If the du'a touches your heart then it is natural that you will cry. If the du'a relates to your situation then you will feel something inside and you will cry.
Allah only answers the du'a of the sincere, so you can cry all you like, but if you don't have sincerity in your heart, your du'a will not be answered. It should also add that excessive crying during salah/du'a can also be a form of riyaa' (showing off). We should bear this in mind.
Why are we crying? Is it because we genuinely feel shame for our sins and because we are touched, or is it to show off our piety/taqwa/imaan?

It depends on what my du'a is about. But I usually make du'a for my mother, who has passed away. And for Allah to guide me and to have mercy on me. I try to make du'a for everyone I know, and I try my best to do it name by name. So you can probably tell me du'as take a long time. It's ok though because I do it after every salah, and especially at tahajjud time. I pray Allah accepts all of our du'as.

That's true. And that's the reason I hate to cry in public. Whether it's because I hear a beautiful ayah, hadith... or whether i'm at an Islamic talk, i hate to cry in front of other people. Because people start praising you, which is really bad. I don't exactly throw dust in their eyes, but I try to explain that my level of iman is nothing.
Showing off can lead to people's hearts becoming corrupt, and nobody needs an ego. It doesn't help you, in this life or the next.

Yeah, i love it when the imams speak of that. It takes guts to say that in public. We should all remember to make du'a for our brothers and sisters all over the world.

I've done it a few times aswell. I lead a few rak'ahs of taraweeh last year and i took the witr prayer a couple of times. The only problem was the comitee of the masjid didn't want any du'as related to politics, and they were really backward. i got into trouble a few times for my du'aas, so i'm not going to lead there again!

So true sis i feel the same way crying in front of people - u don't know what they're thinking. And the shaitan may try and make u feel proud.
When i cry it's usually coz i feel like i can always rely on Allah for anything i want, and no matter what i have some1 2 turn to.:) I just wish i could be more grateful 2 Allah (swt)
