A Reminder On Calamities and Suicide In Islam by Rashduct4luv(m): 6:24am On Oct 17, 2023
Calamities and Suicide in Islam!

As Believers, we are constantly prone to Calamities.
.
Al-Tirmidhi (2399) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Calamities will continue to befall believing men and women in themselves, their children and their wealth, until they meet Allaah with no burden of sin.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Silsilat al-Ahaadeeth al-Saheehah (2280).
.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) also said: “No pain, hardship, sickness or grief befalls a believer, not even worry that befalls him, but some of his bad deeds will be expiated.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5642) and Muslim (2573).
.
The believer has to be patient and to seek the help of Allaah, may He be exalted, and understand that no matter what hardship befalls him in this world -- no matter how severe it is -- the punishment of the Hereafter is worse than it. It is not acceptable according to anyone who is of right mind to run away from the heat of the desert and throw himself into the fire. How can he flee from temporary hardship and difficulty -- which inevitably will come to an end -- to an eternal punishment which has no end?
.
Suicide

Suicide is a major sin, and the one who does that is faced with a warning of eternity in the Fire of Hell, where Allaah will punish him with the means that he used to commit suicide. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever throws himself down from a mountain and kills himself will be throwing himself down in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever. Whoever drinks poison and kills himself will be sipping it in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever. Whoever kills himself with a piece of iron will have that iron in his hand, thrusting it into his belly in the Fire of Hell for ever and ever.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5442) and Muslim (109)
.
It was narrated from Thaabit ibn Dahhaak (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever kills himself with something will be punished with it on the Day of Resurrection.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5700) and Muslim (110).
.
Be hopeful in Allah. The Muslim should ponder and realise that he is not the only one in this world who is affected by calamity and hardship. Calamities befell the greatest of mankind, namely the Prophets, Messengers and the righteous. They also befell the worst of mankind, namely the disbelievers and atheists. May Allah ease our affairs, grant us Istiqama & taqwa and reward us with Aljannatul-Firdaus without hell. Aamin.

Suicide sounds strange to me, Why would a normal human being want to die?

This reminds me of a sister that committed suicide because of the demise of her husband to be,as a true Muslim with eeman, nothing or no trial in this world should make you take your own life....

Allahu ahlamm

May Almighty Allah ease our burdens

Sometimes sucide is the best alternative.
If there are easier methods,more people will do it.
It's a way to express free will.

It's not be force to continue in this wicked world

Failure or disappointment may be fatal, yet it's not final.

You did not bring yourself into the world, so don't take yourself out of it.
