ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

 Surah An-Nisa 4:29-30

َ ‫مْوالَ ُك ْم َتأْ ُكلُوا اَل آ َم ُنوا الَّذ‬
‫ِين أَ ُّي َها َيا‬ َ َ‫ون أَنْ إِاَّل ِب ْالبَاطِ ِل َب ْي َن ُك ْم أ‬
َ ‫ار ًة َت ُك‬
َ ‫اض َعنْ ت َِج‬ ٍ ‫َت ْق ُتلُوا َواَل ِم ْن ُك ْم َت َر‬
َ ‫ظ ْلمًا ع ُْد َوا ًنا ٰ َذل َِك َي ْف َع ْل َو َمنْ ▪ َرحِيمًا ِب ُك ْم َك‬
‫ان هَّللا َ إِنَّ أَ ْنفُ َس ُك ْم‬ ُ ‫ف َو‬ َ ‫ان َنارً ا ُنصْ لِي ِه َف َس ْو‬
َ ‫ك َو َك‬ َ ِ‫َعلَى ٰ َذل‬
▪ ِ ‫يَسِ يرً ا هَّللا‬

“O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly but
only (in lawful) business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves (or
one another). Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful. And whoever does that in
aggression and injustice - then We will drive him into a Fire. And that, for
Allah, is (always) easy.”

 Surah Al-kahfi 18 : 6
َ َّ‫َفلَ َعل‬
▪‫ك‬ َ ‫ار ِه ْم َعلَ ٰى َن ْف َس‬
‫ك َبا ِخ ٌع‬ ِ ‫أَ َس ًفا ْال َحدِي‬
ِ ‫ث ِب ٰ َه َذا ي ُْؤ ِم ُنوا لَ ْم إِنْ آ َث‬
“Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, (O
Muhammad), if they do not believe in this message, (and) out of sorrow”

 Sahih Al-Bukhari – Book 70 Hadith 575

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “None of you
should wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he has to wish for
death, he should say: “O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and let
me die if death is better for me.’ ”

 Sahih Al-Bukhari – Book 23 Hadith 445

Narrated Thabit bin Ad Dahhak: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever
intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he has
said, (e.g. if he says, ‘If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,’ he is really a Jew).
And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same
piece of iron in the Hell Fire.” Narrated Jundab, the Prophet (peace be upon him)
said, “A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed suicide, and so Allah said:
My slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him.”

 Sahih Muslim – Book of Faith Hadith 199

“It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) observed: He who killed himself with steel
(weapon) would be the eternal denizen of the Fire of Hell and he would have
that weapon in his hand and would be thrusting that in his stomach for ever
and ever, he who drank poison and killed himself would sip that in the Fire of
Hell where he is doomed for ever and ever; and he who killed himself by
falling from (the top of) a mountain would constantly fall in the Fire of Hell
and would live there for ever and ever.”
