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.
