Being unable to cry

Question

I have come to Saudi for Hajj. I was first in Medina where I would cry a lot out of repentance and when I used to make dua, after a few days I have gone so hard that I can not cry any longer, even though I pretend to cry it's very difficult, is this a bad thing? Is this a sign of my Duaas not been accepted? If so please advice me as what to do.

Answer

The actual crying is the crying of the heart. The fact that you are feeling in this way is a good sign.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
