Llorar durante el culto: ¿es haram?

Islam has an unusually specific eschatology of the weeping eye. The hadith: 'two eyes will not be touched by the Fire — an eye that wept from fear of Allah, and an eye that spent the night guarding in Allah's cause' (Tirmidhi) — tears as fire-insurance, in the tradition's vivid register. The Quran itself describes the righteous response to revelation: when the verses of the Most Merciful were recited, 'they fell in prostration, weeping' (19:58) — the early community's worship included audible emotion, and the Prophet wept in prayer until his beard was wet (the recitation of a verse about the Day of Judgment, per Aisha's narration in Muslim). The category of khushu — humble, tender attentiveness in prayer — is the intended interior state, and scholars note that tears are its natural fruit, not a distraction from it: the heart present before God softens, and softened hearts leak. The cautions mirror the other traditions' — performative weeping for reputation contradicts the hiddenness of sincere worship, and despairing grief ('wrongs about Allah's mercy') is rebuked — but the worshiper who cries from awe stands in the Quran's own portrait of the believers.
