1 "TEARS DURING PRAYER"

"One of the five pillars of Islam is prayer__done five times a day__and nothing must interfere with praying. the word spoken in player are the Muslim's tool for connecting with God and are paramount to one's existence it's imperative, during the prayer, that once mind doesn't drift off entertain though other than the words of the prayer itself.

One day a man went to his mufti and ask him "Are tears allowed during prayer?"

"Depends on the tears, my good man," replied the mufti.

"How so?"

"If the tears have their source in the The spiritual world__if they've sprung forth because the spiritual experience and one's established a connection with the divine__then years are a grace! however, if they've sprung from some physical pain or emotional discomfort, then they're a distraction and indeed may cut off one's connection with God; such tears are certainly not welcome."

The Muslim had his answer, thanked the mufti graciously, and left for the mosque.
