Is crying over the current state of Muslims, and fearing Allah Almighty in solitude, considered among the reasons for a person to be shaded by Allah on the Day of Resurrection?
Allah Almighty will shade seven types of people with His shade on the Day of Resurrection, among them: "a man who remembered Allah in solitude, and his eyes overflowed." "In solitude" means being alone, away from the eyes of people, to be further from hypocrisy. "His eyes overflowed" means tears flowed from the fear of Allah. It has been reported concerning the virtue of weeping from the fear of Allah that its doer will not be tormented by the Fire, nor will the Fire touch him. However, the fulfillment of this promise is conditioned upon sincerity to Allah, adherence to the prophetic , the weeping being genuine, and being followed by reformative action for the Ummah. Therefore, a Muslim is advised to be diligent in this noble act of worship by secluding himself and weeping from the fear of his Lord, over his sins, out of longing for his Lord, and grieving over the state of his Ummah. He should also seek religious knowledge and strive therein, to increase benefit for Muslims.
