Life is given to each person for a purpose, God's purpose. We are here on earth to fulfill that purpose. Are we free to decide when our purpose is finished and we should die? No! This is known only to God. If we take or attempt to take our own life (suicide) we are trying to perform a function that belongs to God.

Before a baby is born everything about that baby, his growth, life, livelihood, place of birth, time and place of death, as well as everything else about him, are all known ONLY TO GOD simply because He is not bound by time. For as long as we live in this world we are being tested. When we die, it is not the end, but the beginning of a new life. We will open our eyes in a world according to the deeds we did in this life and the Mercy of God. This new life will not be temporary. Here, we find ourselves in different situations and we try our best to rise to the occasion and to pass the test with the help of God. God says in the Qur'an what gives the meaning of:

Nor kill nor destroy yourselves, for surely God has been to you Most Merciful. (Qur`an 4:29)

For whatever situation we are confronted with. If we think it is a bad situation, it could have been worse. If we think it is a good situation, it is still a test for us. Everything is from God and we should praise Him often. Thanking Him is one way to praise Him.


Suicide suggests despair and that the person has come to a decision that God is not helping him. This can never be true for anyone who has purity in their intention (intention solely for God) and sincerity of action (where the action is carried through to the best of one's ability). God does not leave His sincere believers on their own, He is always with us.

eh, but since we were given free will we're allowed to

You don`t want to give wrong ideas,do you?

One should use his/her "free will" to do the right thing.If you think killing yourself is the right thing to do,if you think suicide solves problems then nobody can stop you.

Out of respect for the poor people that have taken there own lives because of mental illness and depression and despair, I think this thread should be closed, as its bound to get out of control. Its not very humane to have things like this on here, being it could be highly distressing to those that have lost ones they care about due to suicide.
