"Crying" when you hear the Quran recited?
-
Peace to all,
Yes, I have cried before and still do occasionally when reading the Quran. The first time I read it was when I was still a christian and I remember I was crying at one point thinking that these are the literal words of God, and then when I read the verse that said the christians will recognize this as the truth and tears will roll down their faces, which is exactly what I was doing, it made me feel so ashamed and embarrassed that I didnt know God before this, I then fell down on my face for the first time ever and tried to pray as the Quran tells us to. Im sure I didnt pray exactly as the traditionalists would like but I did it as best I could, I cried to God to forgive me for forgetting him, for not knowing him, or worshipping him, and for associating others with him as I used to do. I swore that I was a Muslim and that I will die as a Muslim then and there, God willing I will.

Peace All,
Thanks Yusha for the ayat. I agree that not at all times you cry, as it depends on the situation. Majority of times when I read the Quran it related to my life in some way or another and causes much reflection. Thanks for the other ayat as well, thats a good one. As far as Hussein is concerned, what do majority of Sunnis think of him?
Also, I was watching Gods Warriors and an Iranian woman was talking about martyrs and some womens sons head was given to her. She threw the head and stated, "Whatever I give to God, I dont want it back". Do you know what that was about? I liked the story.

I agree brother. I thought the same and how opened I became once I read the Quran and accepted God. As a Christian, it was more of lip service than anything, though there was the little part inside of me that believed in God, but not in the Christian sense. God through the Quran made me understand that what I was feeling was correct. The Quran answered many questions and affirmed my beliefs when I was a Christian. Praise God.
i've never felt emotional while reading the quran.
The translation of the quran really matters to me.
some translation of the quran have a profound effect on me, and some translations really piss me off.
Which ones in particular? The ones that say to beat wives?
Peace

The "Crying when the Quran is recited" is reffering to the expression of the people among the people of the book who called themselves Nazharra.
These "Nazharra" people are actually "Nozirith" in Hebrew, or the Jewish Christians.
The Jewish Christians a.k.a Nozirith is a group of people who is longing for a "salvation" from their God.They don't fare well at that time,
- The Al-Yahudu (The Rabbanical Judaism) hates them, hunt them, declare them as a murtadeen (Infidel)
- The Catholics hates them, hunt them, declare them as a murtadeen (Infidel)
- The Orthodox hates them, hunt them, declare them as a murtadeen (Infidel)
So these Nozirith people are the "Ultimate Infidel" at that time, hated and hunted by many group of people/sects among the people of the book.
And they don't posses the political backing as other sect does. (Al-Yahudu=Persian, Catholics=Western Roman, Orthodox=Eastern Rome/Byzantium)Thus you can understand their "Crying" (Cry Of Joy) when they hear the Quran, thus a sign that they haven't been forgotten by their God.
And they now have God and His messenger and the messenger's friends as their "Political Backing".Salam

I was once chatting with an English lady who never spoke to a muslim before (!), and we just brushed religion when I read to her (in English, of course) a verse (494) (in support of whatever I was saying) and the woman's face turned red and was struggling controlling the flow of tears from her eyes.
So, yosemenite, you don't have to read a verse in Arabic to be overwhelmed. -

Quran cannot be translated in letter and spirit.Quran is only in Arabic.
Translations and transliterations are only helping tools.
This is the reason many people are cheating and deceiving others through translations and they do not dare post exact arabic text lest their intentions are exposed. -
Nor (is there blame) on those who came to thee to be provided with mount, and when thou saidst "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back, their eyes streaming with tears of grief that they had no resources wherewith to provide the expenses. 992
Those were some of the prophets on whom Allah did bestow His Grace of the posterity of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah, and of the posterity of Abraham and Israel of those whom We guided and chose; whenever the Signs of (Allah) Most Gracious were rehearsed to them, they would fall down in prostrate adoration and in tears. 1958
And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth they pray "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses. (583)
The Story of Prophet Yaqub 'alayhis-salaam
The Prophet Ya'qub (peace be upon him) suspected foul play on the part of his sons. He bore with patience the mental torture to which he was subjected in his old age. He wept bitterly day and night and lost his eye-sight. After a long time he came to know that Prophet Yusuf (peace Be upon him) was alive. -
salaam.
amuslim, IronSky and the rest of you, thanks for sharing.
God willing I will never forget how I reacted the first time I accepted the Quran as the words of God. How I cried! Sure, it was a translation I was reading, but the echo of the real thing was enough to remove any doubt in my heart.
I sometimes tear up from hearing it recited in arabic, not because I understand that many of the words, but because I have an increasingly good idea of what the words actually convey. I get overcome by the feeling of God's great mercy in sending us the Book that is entirely true, for our guidance.Praise God.

@Leoxyz - So are you saying that after I am able to understand Arabic that at that point I will realize that I need other books and that only the Quran is not good enough? I thought the Quran is the actual words of Allah. I thought the Quran was protected by Allah. Does it not state that it is the only book needed and that there is no other like when it's read in Arabic? I hope that isn't true.
Sorry for getting off topic guys. I have never cried while reading the Quran but I have gotten emotional. I haven't actually shed tears yet.

I find that I cry when I get reminded of the greatness and mercy of God, whether the reminder comes from prayer, the Quran, or something else. Sometimes, maybe always, this reminder has come to me after I have been straying from the path for some time, not being mindful of God. It always feels good to weep before God, but for me it has sometimes felt like tears of repentance, and gratefulness. Maybe the tearless believers don't have as much straying as the weepy people to repent for, and not as much forgiveness to be personally grateful for?
God surely knows all, and I know so very little.

(82) Et quand ils entendent ce qui a ?t? descendu sur le Messager , tu vois leurs yeux d?border de larmes, parce qu?ils ont reconnu la v?rit?. Ils disent ?? notre Seigneur! Nous croyons inscris-nous donc parmi ceux qui t?moignent (de la v?racit? du Coran). (83) Pourquoi ne croirions-nous pas en Allah et ? ce qui nous est parvenu de la v?rit?. Pourquoi ne convoitions-nous pas que notre Seigneur nous fasse entrer en la compagnie des gens vertueux?? (84) Allah donc les r?compense pour ce qu?ils disent par des Jardins sous lesquels coulent les ruisseaux, o? ils demeureront ?ternellement. Telle est la r?compense des bienfaisants. (85) Et quant ? ceux qui ne croient pas et qui traitent de mensonges Nos versets, ce sont les gens de la Fournaise. (86) ? les croyants ne d?clarez pas illicites les bonnes choses qu?Allah vous a rendues licites. Et ne transgressez pas. Allah, (en v?rit?,) n?aime pas les transgresseurs. sun group peace
