I know this is long but it's just amazing...read this to increase ur Emaan InshaAllah...
"Has not the time come for the hearts of those who believe to be affected by Allah's Reminder and that which has been revealed of the truth, lest they become as those who received the Scripture before, and the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened? And many of them were rebellious, disobedient (faasiqoon)." (Al-Hadeed, 57/16)
Allah sent to us Quran and "the skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart soften to the remembrance of Allah." (Az Zumar/23)
He mentioned in Quran the promise and the threat, and made clear that His believing servants are fearful and shivering from the punishment of their Lord. Our Lord, the Exalted elucidated to us that the believer, whenever his Iman strengthens and his certainty increases, becomes more fearful of Allah.
Weeping of the Prophet (p.b.u.h.)
The Prophet (p.b.u.h.), said to Abdullah Ibn Mas'ood, "Read to me Quran." He said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Should I recite to you and it was revealed to you?' He said, "Yes, for I like to hear it from others." 'I recited Soorat an-Nisaa until I reached the ayah,
"How (will it be) then, when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you (O Muhammad) as a witness against these people?" (An-Nisaa/41)
He then said, "Stop now." I found that his eyes were tearful.' (Fath al-Baari 8/712)
Abdullah Ibn ash-Shikhkheer (May Allah be pleased with him) said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) praying with us, and I heard the sound of his weeping coming out of his chest, which was like the sound of a boiling pot." (Abu Dawood, An-Nasaa'i, and At-Tirmidhi)
Weeping of Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him)
Aaisha said, "During his illness, the Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) said: 'Order Abu Bakr to lead the prayer.' I told the Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) that, 'Indeed, if Abu Bakr stands in your place the people will not be able to hear him due to his (excessive) weeping.'" (al-Bukhari)
Our weeping
The righteous have cried, the worshippers have cried and the believers have cried. And in this time there are people by whom a complete year passes and they do not drop a single tear from the fear of Allah. O Allah we seek refuge with you from hard hearts. O Allah soften our hearts to Your remembrance!
"Those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism), and whose hearts find rest in the remembrance of Allah, Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Ar-Ra'd/28)
"The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Quran) are recited unto them, they increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone)." (Al-Anfaal/2)
So why do we not cry today? We do not cry from the strength of the hardness of our hearts and our hearts' attachment to this world. So our hearts have hardened and our eyes have dried.
We are distant from our Lord. Had we been close our hearts would not have hardened. So he, who spends a whole week without his eye dropping a tear, let him sit and supplicate and humble himself. Maybe his heart would soften and his eye would drop a tear. And if his heart doesn’t drop a tear, then let him open the Book of Allah and read its ayat with contemplation, humility and submissiveness. So if his eye cries, his heart fears and his soul humbles he has succeeded; and if he continues in the state of the hardened heart, let him sit in a dark room and weep over his state, for his heart has died.

"Say: Believe in it (i.e. the Qur'an) or do not believe (in it). Verily! Those who were given knowledge before it, when it is recited to them, fall down on their faces in humble prostration, and they say: "Glory be to our Lord! Truly the promise of our Lord must be fulfilled. And they fall down on their faces weeping, and it adds to their humility". (Al-Israa' 17:107-9)
Hadith on weeping out of the fear of Allah.
Abu Umamah (radhiallahu`anhu) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said: "Nothing is dearer to Allah than two drops and two marks: A drop of tear which sheds out due to fear of Allah, and a blood drop shed in the path of Allah. And the two marks are: A mark received in the cause of Allah (mark of a wound, signs of walking in the path of Allah, layer or dust, etc), and a mark caused in observing one of the obligatory commandments of Allah (mark of prostration, or a mark attained during the journey of Hajj)." (Tirmidhi)
7 ppl under ALLAH'S THRONE:Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "Seven people Allah will give them His Shade on the Day when there would be no shade but the Shade of His Throne (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection): And they are: a just ruler; a youth who grew up with the worship of Allah; a person whose heart is attached to the mosques, two men who love and meet each other and depart from each other for the sake of Allah; a man whom an extremely beautiful woman seduces (for illicit relation), but he (rejects this offer and) says: `I fear Allah'; a man who gives in charity and conceals it (to such an extent) that the left hand does not know what the right has given; and a man who remembers Allah in solitude and his eyes become tearful".
