Have the power of tears ever cross your mind?
To me, tears symbolizes sincerity. Sincerity of a slave towards their God. It is beautiful to see a slave, crying and begging for help and forgiveness from Allah. It is beautiful to know how much we need Allah's help in our life. It is wonderful to be humble in front of Him and talk about our imperfections so that he can help us to become better. The sincerity will make our du'a accepted. InsyaAllah.
Tears is also a way to express ourselves. A girl will cry her heart out whenever she feels down. I would cry my heart out when I feel down. I would sleep on my wet pillow and feel better once I wake up the next morning. My swollen eyes are worth it. Because by crying, I don't have to bury everything inside my heart. I don't have to carry the burden on my shoulder. Not after I've cried.
