PRESENTER:It is the same with the compassion of the Prophet Jacob(pbuh) towards Prophet Joseph(pbuh).

ADNAN OKTAR: But of course one should not see it in that extend. That is because they say  "you will destroy yourself with grief". I mean may Allah forbid, he almost died of grief. It should not be like this. That is a slip of the Prophet. That is a slip. A Muslim is to behave resignedly. But of course Almighty Allah presents his intense love as a manifestation. However the correct thing to do is, to face this by behaving resignedly. As a matter of fact he does behave resignedly and say, I take refuge in Allah from the satan, "I make complaint about my grief and sorrow to Allah alone." That is the acceptable attitude. "He says he is alright but his eyes lose sight because of grief. It is said, "and then his eyes turned white from hidden grief," right? A Muslim should not feel grief in that extend, he will behave resignedly insha'Allah. I mean that is valid for everyone, for all Muslims, surely he did behave resignedly but Allah had manifested Himself in him like this insha'Allah. But an understanding stating "grief is an esteemed feeling" should not be read from that incident. That is to say, a Muslim cannot say "A prophet feels grief, his eyes turned white, he had felt an immense sorrow and pain. I will feel pain for my son as well."That is because Allah does not tell us; "that is good and you should do like this". Allah says; "Do not give up and do not be downhearted. You shall be uppermost if you are muminun." Being downhearted is unlawful. This is an explicit ruling of the Qur'an; it is unlawful. Feeling troubled is unlawful, not being able to behave resignedly is unlawful. But there, the Prophet has shown a humane character, he is an immaculate person in the Sight of Allah, he has been awarded with the Heaven insha'Allah. But what he did there was a slip of the Prophet insha'Allah. That is because, may Allah forbid, there may be people in search of a sign for grief. For instance to cry in a funeral, in an incident, to cry is not acting resignedly. It is a very wrong behavior. To be sad is wrong. That is because when a person dies, he either goes to Heaven or to Hell. There is good in both cases. If he is a disbeliever, let him go to Hell anyway. If he is a Muslim, he had gone to Heaven, what more do you ask for? He will live forever, that is great. Consequently to cry means rebelling and it is improper. But if he says; "I am crying for the love of Allah", then let him cry. If he says "I am crying for the fear of Allah", then let him cry. Let him cry until the morning, it doesn't matter. That does not create a loss on their part. Crying for the fear of Allah is healing. You cry in enthusiasm that is a healing as well, right? Insha'Allah. For instance in the presence of Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh) people wail loudly. Why? They will cry out of love, out of enthusiasm. That is a good thing. When you ask why he is crying? He is not crying out of grief, but out of happiness. People will cry when Islam prevails the world, right? It will be out of happiness. That is a good thing. For instance a person can be possessed of fear of Allah and cry. He wails loudly. That is a good thing. But of course, to be cry baby is not something becoming to a Muslim. The weather is cloudy, let us cry. You ask him how he is, he starts crying and says "I am okay" and cries. Well now, that would be weird of course. For instance he losses in an exam, he cries, he fails to enter the university exam he cries, he fails in a class, he cries. There is good in every single one of those events, there is nothing wrong, insha'Allah. For instance a child gets ill, he cries for that. There is good in that, there is nothing wrong insha'Allah. That is because Allah says for the disbelievers  "Let them laugh little and weep much". That means Allah wants the disbelievers to cry, not the Muslims. He says "laugh little". The disbelievers will laugh little, weep much. A Muslim will be cheerful and cry only for the love of Allah, insha'Allah.
