Woke up for Tahajjud and couldn't stop crying during Jumuah salah

As-salamu alaykum. I've been dealing with a broken heart lately. I've been reading about it, making constant dua, and trying to move on, but even after 4–5 months my feelings won't let go. My heart keeps pulling me back to pray and make dua for him. Today (21 November 2025) I got up for tahajjud for the third time this week. Today felt different. After tahajjud, Fajr, and some dhikr, I took a short nap and woke up with a heavy urge to cry. I held it in until Jumuah. Once I performed Jumuah and began my duas, the tears just came - I couldn't stop them. I didn't even get to say “Ya Allah…” properly; my body seemed to have been waiting to release on the prayer mat. Last night when I prayed tahajjud and made the same dua, I had a dream that it was accepted and I was living the life I asked for with the person I pray for. Now I'm sitting on my prayer mat wondering why I can't stop crying. My duas keep coming. I have faith, hope, tawakkul, and yaqeen - I truly trust Allah will reunite us if it's best. But my heart feels so heavy and I'm crying so much. Does this mean my duas are accepted? I've heard people say that before but never felt it until today. Please make dua that Allah grants him hidayah, reunites us if it's good for us, and accepts my supplications. Insha'Allah, Ameen. Can someone help me understand what's happening?

I felt chills reading this. Dreams can be comforting but don't lose hope if reality hasn't changed yet. Keep trusting Allah, keep making dua, and surround yourself with supportive sisters. Ameen.

Sending you a big virtual hug. Your tears show your sincerity and connection. Maybe it's acceptance, maybe it's healing - whatever it is, it's meaningful. Keeping you and him in my prayers, insha'Allah everything becomes clear.

I’ve been there. Crying in prayer felt like my heart finally spoke. Not necessarily acceptance, but a sign your heart is sincere. May Allah ease you and grant what's best. Keeping you in my duas, sister.

I cried in fajr once and felt lighter afterwards. It didn't fix everything overnight, but it was like Allah heard me. You’re not alone. Take gentle care of yourself and keep making dua, insha'Allah He knows.

Ameen to your dua. That dream could be a comforting sign, or just hope Allah gave to keep you going. Either way, your tears mean you're pouring your heart out - that's powerful. Sending lots of duas.

Honestly, that kind of crying felt like a sign Allah is near. Could be acceptance, or just mercy to help you heal. Either way I'm praying for you and for clarity. Stay patient, sister.

SubhanAllah, reading this made me tear up too. That kind of release during salah feels so real - sometimes it's a sign of deep sincerity. Sending dua that Allah answers in the best way. Hold on to your faith, sister.

This resonates so much. Emotions can be part of healing - sometimes Allah opens that floodgate to cleanse the heart. I pray your dua is accepted and He brings ease to you, sister.
