Suicide | No Solution - Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel (Rahmatullahi 'alayh)

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

 

 

By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (Rahmatullahi ‘alayh)

 

 

Despite severe suffering, persecution and torture, not a single Sahabi (companion) of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) nor a single Wali (friend) of Allah Ta’ala, throughout history, ever committed suicide.

 

 

Their trials were borne with patience, perseverance and fortitude, which strengthened their Imaan (faith) in Allah Ta’ala. 

 

 

The large number of suicides that occur every day in the world is due to disbelief or weak faith in Allah Ta’ala.

 

 

Those who commit suicide think that they are going to escape the difficulties, pains and problems of this world, but they will be severely punished for taking their lives. And how will they then escape the pain of the punishment that is meted out for taking their lives?

 

 

We should, however, not pass judgment regarding the person who has taken his or her life. Judgment should be left to Allah Ta’ala, for we do not know in what mental state the person was in – for example, severe depression – to have snapped and committed suicide.
