Mufti Menk – Rewarded for a Tear

			So there were verses that were revealed, speaking about the tears that rolled down the cheeks of the
negative of Abba, sr, or an a joshy of Habesha, and although these verses were revealed specifically
for him, the lesson we draw from these verses for every one of us are that whenever we are moved to
tears, it brings about a lot of comfort. So listen to the Quran when you're in distress. read the
Quran when you're in distress, and see what it does to you. Some people enjoy putting on their
headphones when they're sad, and listening to their favorite recital read beautiful verses, and I
promise you it brings about so much of comfort. Even some of those who don't believe in Islam have
		

			admitted that they achieve and derive a lot of comfort from listening to the recitation of the Quran
Subhana Allah. Allah says in verse number 83 of surah to either one either Sammy or
		

			Xena, Ilana Sunita Unum Davina gumina, Demi mean,
		

			Mina Campo yaku, Luna Bana
		

			to banana shahidi, when they hear what has been revealed to the messenger, meaning the verses of
Allah subhanho wa Taala you find their eyes or you see their eyes filled with tears Subhana Allah
because of the truth that they recognize there by Allah subhanho wa Taala says they say, Oh our
Lord, we have believed so write us from amongst those who have borne witness. Obviously, this is on
a higher level. This is not only about listening to the Quran, or hearing the verses of the Quran,
or crying thereafter. But beyond that, it's about believing in the verses. So the highest level of
comfort that you would achieve from the Quran is only when you believe in it, although you will
		

			derive other levels of comfort from the words of Allah, even if you didn't believe and people bear
witness to this, who don't believe in Islam. May Allah subhanho wa Taala grant us the ability to
look into these beautiful verses. Listen to them, read them, understand them, try to put them into
practice convey them to others and we will achieve the greatest of comfort.
