we all cry, but there still seems to be a an old belief that men are ashamed to cry.
I personally have no objection to men crying, i have no gender biase of any emotions.

Our beloved prophet, on occasions went home to Khadija, his wife, and sobbed in her arms....
His life at that stage faced many spiritual questions, confusions.
She was a protector of his flame, she wrapped him up in her arms and cared for him, without her support our beloved could not have achieved what he did (all thanks to allah)...

If our beloved, the perfection of perfection, could depend on his wife during a time when male dominated the globe, than why cant we cry?

I think putting our cultural expectations aside, we should no longer hold true that men cant and shouldnt cry.
New generation of muslim men, or even non-muslims no longer abide by such stereotypes.

God gave us a heart, we feel wamth in it. How can we not cry?


No one except Allah of course, knows more about a man than his wife, both his good and his bad qualities, his strengths and his weaknesses. The more Khadijah came to know about her husband, the more she loved and respected him. Everyone in Makka called him 'al-Amin', which means 'the trustworthy one', and she, more than anyone else, knew how fitting this name was. It became Muhammad's custom each year to spend the month of Ramadan in seclusion and reflection in a cave on the mountain of Hira, which is on the outskirts of Makka. Khadijah would always make sure that he was provided with food and drink during his retreat. Towards the end of one Ramadan, when he was forty and Khadijah fifty-five, Muhammad suddenly appeared at their house in the middle of the night, trembling with fear and saying, "Cover me up, cover me up!"

Khadijah was very alarmed to see him in such a state. Quickly she wrapped a blanket around his shoulders



" Prophet Muhammad PBUH says ALLAH loves two drops of liquid. one which you shed while fighting for ALLAH (jihad) thats your blood, and second when you cry because of the fear of ALLAH , thats you tears."
