The Power of Tears seminar will refresh the student with Prophetic orations and recommendations with respect to the power of tears and the virtue of crying in Islam. Did you know that the Prophets and Messengers of God, may peace be upon them, watered and nourished their metaphysical souls with physical tears?

Abdullah ibn Umar, May Allah be pleased with him, said he would rather shed two tears from the fear of Allah than give a thousand dinars in charity.

And the most telling example of a man who few would think would cry because of Allah is Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. He was known for being strong, fearless, and uncompromising when it came to matters of faith. Yet, Abdullah ibn Isa said that Umar had two black streaks on his face because of constant weeping.
