Your Crying is a Blessing from Allâh Almighty

Question :

When I stand in front of an audience to exhort them to do good and forbid them from doing evil, I feel a natural rush of consciousness; sometimes, from fear of Allâh Almighty, I cry. I do not, however, cry when I am alone. Is this from hypocrisy or showing off? And should I stop exhorting people to do well and to abandon evil from fear of being a hypocrite, and from fear of nullifying my good deeds?

Answer:

You should be diligent in calling to Allah Almighty, on for the Shaytan would love for you to stop that. He might convince you that you are doing this to earn people's praise. Fear Allâh Almighty, invite others to Allâh, and always be diligent in rectifying your intentions. Ask Allâh Almighty for help; He will help you. You should supplicate, "O Allah, help me to remember You and to be grateful to You." If you cry sincerely, without seeking praise from people, then this is a blessing from Allah Almighty.
