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 cry during Dua' because i fear allah and the torment that is about to befall :'( I also cry during surah's that talk about the punishments and torments :'( and beutifull speeches and tawbah too ... i never finished surah qamar reciting it properly :'( a beutifull surah .
 
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?
Wassalam
 
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.

Salam
May Allah have mercy on your mother, and all of the other muslims who have passed away.
I think the main du'a that makes people cry is when the imam mentions the mujahideen and the people of Iraq/Kashmir/Palestine/Bosnia etc

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)
 
the seven people that will have Allah's shade on qiyamah (not in order)
1-a just ruler

2-someone who has spent their youth in obedience to Allah(youth is till ur 40)

3-a man whose heart is attached to the mosque

4-someone who CRIES OUT OF FEAR OF ALLAH while they are alone (not showing off)

5-someone who gives in charity in such a way that his left hand doesn't know...(or something like that-not showing off)

6-a man whom a beautiful woman tries to seduce but he says 'i fear Allah'

7- um i can't remember -anyone else please?

The last one is someone who loves for Allah's sake and hate's for Allah's sake(something like that):)
 
Masha-Allah, jazak-Allah sis!
I start to feel really emotional when I think about the blessings Allah has given. It's the reason I started practicing Islam. I just felt so grateful.
:w:
 
Yeah, I have alot of friends like that. I hope Allah accepts our love for each other as purely for Him, ameen.
