As-Salaam alaikum,
In all we do in this life, we are commanded to follow and/or adopt the example and/or practices of the Noble Messenger of Allah, Sayyadina Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. In this regards, I wish to remind you of what Imam Ibn Qayyim said in his book, titled: 'ZAD-UL-MA'AD' :--
"WHEN THE PROPHET CRIED, IT WAS SIMILAR TO HIS LAUGHING, WITHOUT EXAGGERATION
OR AUDIBLE SOUND. LIKEWISE, HE DID NOT WEEP OUT LOUD. HIS EYES WOULD GET TEARFUL,
UNTIL THEY BECAME WET AND THE SOUND OF GRIEF COULD BE HEARD FROM HIS CHEST. HE
USED TO CRY WHEN FEELING MERCY FOR THE DEAD OR DYING, FOR FEAR AND COMPASSION
FOR HIS UMMAH AND FOR FRIGHT FROM ALLAH.
HE CRIED ON HEARING THE QUR'AN BEING RECITED FOR EAGERNESS, LOVE AND RESPECT FOR
THE QUR'AN, WHILE FEELING FEAR AND FRIGHT."
