Crying in Salaah

Q: My father passed away 20 days ago. Alhamdollilah Allah Ta'ala gave me a lot of saber and I did not cry in front of anyone. But every time I pray namaz I just automatically cry. I don't know why this happens. I try so hard to control myself because I am scared that shaitan maybe making me cry. Is it ok to cry in namaaz?

A: Don't pay attention to this. Pay attention to your namaaz.

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