Opinion | “Suicide” Why do people commit suicide, if it is haram in Islam?

Rising trend of suicide is becoming a serious problem in kashmir valley as well.Young people are abandoning the precious blessing of life and embarrassing death.While every person is overwhelmed with grief on hearing the news of suicide.Those who are mentally ill are the ones who do such haraam acts.Some of our loved ones, friends or any other make a suicide attempt. Some of them survive while most die. Every suicide survivor leaves behind a fundamental question: Why did he or she commit suicide? Was he or she so fed up and frustrated with life, or was his situation such that he embarrassed death? I saw most of people those who have all the luxuries of life also commit suicide, which means that the pains and sufferings of life are not as closely related to suicide as is commonly associated. Most people who commit suicide are speculated to have some kind of trouble or some other serious problems that caused them to “suicide attempt”.A person who commits suicide does not commit suicide easily, but suffers from intense pain. Some people suffers from depression, some suffers from mental health problems. Many people are forced to commit suicide due to political and economic situation. Every day the incidents of suicide are being heard that some young girl or boy ended their life by putting a noose around their neck or by eating poison or by jumping into the river and killing themselves. From these incidents, it can be well estimated that how sensitive the present generation is. Rather, how much they lack in the power of endurance. Although many young people have been prevented from committing suicide by timely intervention, there have been incidents of suicide which are enough to shake the society. Although suicide incidents were seen unevenly in jammu and Kashmir, especially in the kashmir valley. In Islam, ending one’s own life is considered a serious crime, a serious sin and cause of punishment.It has been explicitly prohibited and condemned in the Qur’an and hadith because the lord of life and death is God alone. But when mental illness or stress completely overwhelms a person, there comes a time in his life when he feels that there is no other option left from him except to embrace death.

Psychological problems are also a major cause of suicide. The faster the world is moving towards development, the more people are suffering from psychological problems:Depression, Anxiety, Stress.Degradation of joint family system, changing behaviour of human beings, lack of mutual cooperation etc.are some reasons due to which psychological problems mostly economic conditions are increasing day by day. It will not be wrong to say that the biggest and most important reason for suicide is social problems and factors. Increasing family quarrels in society and society (quarrels between children, parents, husband and wife, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law), violation of the rights of the people, hatred spread in the society, unrest, cruelty and violence, looting and temptation. Increasing incidents of corruption, their attitude towards the people, dowry and unreasonable demands, unhappy marriages, educational pressure,strictness of parents, growing illicit relationships between young boys and girls, etc. There are such complex problems of society and society which are becoming causes of mental stress in human beings. People become complacent and consider suicide as a means of salvation.Domestic disputes etc. are the main reason for suicide. Remember this! The real owner of life and death is Allah. Just as putting another person to death is considered to be equivalent to killing the entire humanity, in the same way ending one’s own life or wasting it unnecessarily is also an act disliked by Allah Ta’ala.(کہتے ہیں نہ جان ہے تو جہان ہے) In the end! i request you all, Remember your grave. Don’t commit suicide because it’s haram in islam.
