Men can cry


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, we should no longer hold true that men cant and shouldnt cry.
New generation of muslim me, 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?

so whos cried here? and how isnt still 'ashamed' to explain why they cry.

I have only seen my dad cry when his little sister passed away and his dad. I have never seen my brothers cry as adults, only when we were younger and they used to get beats from my mum!!!

I think that women can cry for everything but men only for things who are really important i mean serious as death... or when they are really happy (birth...) (A)
I saw crying my dear dad just three time and it was only for death

yepp. ive never even heard of that liya.
it doesnt say anything in islam about crying for a decesaesd one. it must be a pakistani thing.

like i said, no one in my family cry like that. if anything ive ever seen women cry loud, shout and make a scene.
