Contemplating Suicide? Sometimes things can genuinely get tough in our lives... sometimes life can really get to you, one of the things we fail to remmeber is that Allah does not burden a soul with more than it can bear.. when we are going through these different issues in our life we always forget this and sometimes suicide can pop into your mind... it can come into some peoples minds more frequently than others and in order to tackle this issue lets establish a few things 1. What is suicide? Suicide is essentially you taking your own life... now think about this, you are contemplating taking your own life because you feel really bad about something... but taking your own life will result in you not being able to experience any form of happiness in this life because you will be gone... and it will also mean that you cant experience any form of good in the hereafter Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever throws himself down from a mountain and kills himself will be in the Fire of Hell, throwing himself down therein for ever and ever. Whoever takes poison and kills himself, his poison will be in his hand and he will be sipping it in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever. Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron, that piece of iron will be in his hand and he will be stabbing himself in the stomach with it in the Fire of Hell, for ever and ever.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5442; Muslim, 109. 2. Why is Islam so harsh when it comes to those who have committed suicide? You see you have to understand that as Muslims we firmly believe life is a test for us... we are here because Allah wants to test us, now imagine in this life you have an exam and you rip up your paper in the exam hall and throw it in the bin because YOU felt it was too hard and it was getting to you... You would be mad to expect any form of sympathy or a re take after pulling a stunt like that! Same thing with suicide my beloved brothers and sisters... suicide is a withdrawal from your test... suicide is you ripping your test paper with your own hands.. you cannot in anyway expect reward after doing that... 3. What do i do now? Establish a better connection with Islamic beliefs and the Quran... understand that if you take your life you will destroy your life here and in the hereafter, you will destroy the life of your parents and you will be doomed... it is like guaranteeing yourself a spot in Jahannam.. subhanAllah Pray to Allah, become a better person and do things that you enjoy!!! If you are getting these thoughts because of someone else try your best to ignore them and just be happy, if you like eating sushi.. eat it everyday, if you dont like college, leave college for a year.. take a gap year.... your life is worth more than a year at any college or university and finally trust in Allah Know Allah loves you and he loves those whom he tests... remember this :) - Musa Adnan [SHARE]
