Ummah’s sins and the severities of Judgement Day and plead in the court of Allah Almighty, he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would weep when hearing the recitation of the Quranic verse in which there is mention of witnesses being taken from every nation and him being made a witness of everyone, he would sometimes spend the entire night reciting one verse, he would sometimes extend his standing and bowing in Salah, and would sometimes place his forehead in prostration, seeking goodness for the Ummah. He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would plead and remain awake at night, and would weep whilst supplicating for the salvation and protection of the sinful Ummah from the difficulties of the grave and the Day of Judgement.

The reason for crying

Our Merciful and Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم raised both of his blessed hands and wept whilst making Du’a for the Ummah, and said: ‘اَللّٰھُمَّ اُمَّتِیْ اُمَّتِیْ’, meaning, ‘O Allah!
