In the glorious Quran I have always wondered about the verses where cry and crying are mentioned. The tafsir of such verses did not shed light on the questions I had. My query is one but for the sake of better understanding I have divided it onto two sub-questions.

• do we really need to cry in our lives, and does it shows weakness in character? (If we are unable to, are we accountable)

• does crying of the one vary in type and nature from person to another?.(suppose two persons are afflicted with same calamity and one cries when the other does not,is this patience or hypocrisy)

I am searching for an answer from Islamic perspective in the light of Quran and Sunnah, not psychological view.

The understanding that I search for is the significance of this concept in the Quran and also as we can see prophet Muhammad (SAW) also cried on various occasions to varying degrees.

Pls correct me if there is a difficulty in understanding my question.
