“Why is mommy crying?”
My little brother was asking me that the other day as he saw my mom crying while reciting Quran.
Hmmm…how do you explain that to a six-year-old who hasn’t yet developed those types of emotions?
“Because she understands the words of the Quran and is really touched by them.”
“But why is she crying?”
“Because…because just thinking about the words makes her feel really sad…”

SubhanAllah it brings back a memory of myself around 8 years ago asking a similar question to my aunt in Ramadan. We had gone to the masjid for taraweeh, and I was certain that I was the only female that walked out with dry eyes and was excluded from the ritual of emptying out tissue boxes. Yet I was sure that I was the natural one…nothing sad had happened, right??
