Tears can extinguish the fire of Hell

There is a hadith, in which the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, says:

"No one sheds tears but Allah will sae his body from the fire of Hell. If the tears trickle down a person's cheeks, his or her face will be saved from any degradation. If one out of a group of people cries, the whole group will be blessed by Allah. Only tears have unrestricted power. Verily, tears can extinguish the fire of Hell."

This shows us how wonderful it is to cry for Allah's sake. Tears are not something that we can fake. They are the result of true and deep emotions. The Prophet says that "the Hellfire is forbidden to touch the eyes of the one who sheds tears at the remembrance of Allah."

Meditate on the last part of the Hadith that I told you, on how "tears can extinguish the fire of Hell." This is how powerful your tears are!
