how many of you have thought about ending your life (suicide)?
I’m just curious to know. I asked this question at work too.
Re: a serious question.
I seek Allah's refuge from Shaitaan for this. Islam does not allow and I have never thought such a thing, though I may be the worst muslim living on the face of this earth. The reward of such an act is Jahannam (May Allah save us all from it). Ameen. Summa Ameen.
Re: a serious question.
I've felt extremely depressed at times, but i never really thought about it reaching that level. Because it's strictly forbidden in Islam and i just think of the consequences i'll face if i take the decision to end my life against Allah's will.
Think of it as my....motivation, to face difficulty, to deal with issues at hand, and when i can't do something, i just let it be until i'm in a position to resolve the 'issue'. like HHL put it, more than often it's the satan, then other times u have to think of it like 'Allah tests his creation to see if we give up so easily in the face of difficulty'.
You weren't born by will, u won't die by will (If you follow the right way). It's the least you can do. :) and i mean you in general, not just you specifically.

It must have occured to BB when she decided to return to the scene of the crimes you think?............:(
Re: a serious question.
i agree with HHL & teggy...
Re: a serious question.
I've thought about it at times when thingswere really going bad ......but the way i figured Suicide is a sign of weakness.....its the coward's way out .....
it doesn't take courage to end it all , it takes courage to live ........
Besides the fact that it is forbidden in Islam .......... this isn't sumthing that most of us comprehend ...What drives someone to end their life......What frame of mind might they have been in ?
Sometimes I knoe there are times where i'm almost scared i might do that too .......maybe we become so unglued that we don't knoe what or who controls us in those moments....and we take steps we normally wudn't ....
But at the end of the day I believe this saying to b true ..:-
Don't be afraid your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.

Re: a serious question.
yeah i have considered ending my life. at one point things were so down that i actually envisioned pulling the trigger of the gun that was next to my temple, and unlike other times when i would imagine that, i didn’t shy away from that. thank goodness we don’t carry a gun in our house, or i don’t know what would happen. but you know what thank Allah that i didn’t. because even though things get really really really bad, that is no way to fix things. because suicide is the most selfish thing you can do. not to mention it’s absolutely haram, and considering all the sins that i did in my life…i do want to keep a tiny chance of having them forgiven 
if things do get bad, my solution is to get up, first contact Allah, then my friend, and then find a solution to fix the problem. any solution. but gawd things do get scary at times. 
Re: a serious question.
if there was no punishment for suicide i wudv done it long ago

Re: a serious question.
Okay...as a mulsim, I am EXTREMELY ashamed to admit this....but YES - I have contemplated this.............
When the state of my healh, my mind and my life in general has been in severe tatters...I have considered that I cannot go on at all. I have cried out of frustration, stamped my feet and slammed doors, punched the wall, screamed, broken crockery - none of it alleviated my pain, so I figured that the only way out of my predicament was to end it all - after all, I wasn't (am not) bringing any joy to the most important person in my life - my husband and he is having to put up with the mood swings, the general poor health, the depression (they are all my only states at times). I prayed to allah SWT for death, for a way out...............
When nobody could understand me, I talked to the walls (honestly guys - I quite literally did), when nobody would listen I wrote down my feelings, I talked to Allah SWT and sought his guidance...........
When the times were really grim, when once again I had been made to feel like the failure I was for not being able to have children, I contemplated just swallowing all those tablets I wa supposed to take 3 a day, I even thought about writing a goodbye note....................
BUT....somehow, Allah SWT gave me the hidayat to look again.....somehow HE helped me through with my feelings...........then I realised that although I felt I wasn't bringing joy to the most improtant person in my life by living, I was most improtantly not bringing joy to THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON in my LIFE (ALLAH) by committing this forbidden act.
Yes, I know it's forbidden, and as practicising muslims we shouldn't actively engage in thinking/contemplating purposely carrying out an act that is strictly forbidden in our religion....................BUT when you are in such a state that you can't think straight and the situation is genuinely that bad you will undoubtedly come accross allah ke bandeh who believe that this is the only way out.
Alham du lillah I have come thorugh that very dark time...........but I will never forget it.
So please don't judge those who may have contemplated it, just pray to Allah SWT that neither they nor you ever are in that situation

Speak to the Samaritans before you progress a step further than just being curious.

Re: a serious question.
i think he’s suggesting ‘Ask others before you actually do it, or if it becomes more than just curiousity’
Re: a serious question.
Samaritans...you know the people at the other end of the phone line that will listen to you and be a shoulder to cry over on.
