So let's take the first question. Assalamu alaikum I am fires

00:00:04 --> 00:00:04

Hussein

00:00:06 --> 00:00:11

from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am a school student. If a Muslim commit

00:00:11 --> 00:00:16

suicide, will he be a dweller of hellfire forever? Will his

00:00:16 --> 00:00:20

punishment never end? Even if he was a righteous person in this

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

worldly life and perform a bother to Allah? Allah subhanaw taala

00:00:24 --> 00:00:26

says in the Glorious Quran in surah Nisa, chapter number four

00:00:26 --> 00:00:34

was number 29, wala taco, Tulu and forsaken and kill not yourself. So

00:00:34 --> 00:00:39

suicide is clearly prohibited in the Glorious Quran, and suicide.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

It is a major sin. According to Imam of the Hubby, he writes, in

00:00:43 --> 00:00:47

his book, I'll cover the 70 major sins, wherein he lists the major

00:00:47 --> 00:00:53

sins. And he says that suicide is on number 29 in his list of major

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

sins, suicide, it is clearly prohibited in Islam.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

And the punishment for the person who commit suicide it is mentioned

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

in the hadith of Abdullah Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, when

00:01:05 --> 00:01:12

he said that if a person kills himself with a piece of iron, then

00:01:12 --> 00:01:17

on the day of judgment in hellfire, he will kill himself

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

again and again in the same manner with the piece of iron.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

If a person drinks poison, and kills himself, then in the

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

hereafter in hellfire, he will keep drinking this poison, and

00:01:29 --> 00:01:33

we'll do it again and again. So the punishment for the person who

00:01:33 --> 00:01:38

commits suicide is that he will kill himself the same way in

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

hellfire

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

and suicide, it is never the solution.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

This life it is a test for the hereafter. Allah subhanaw taala

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

says in the Glorious Quran surah Mulk. Chapter 67 was number two

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

allele holofoil motor will hire Leah blue Akuma ucommerce anomala

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

it is Allah who has created death and life to test which of your

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

good deeds, this life it is a test for the hereafter.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:09

So even if a person has trials and tribulations yes to bear it with

00:02:09 --> 00:02:14

patience and perseverance, and if a person commits suicide, he is

00:02:14 --> 00:02:19

being ungrateful to the decree of Allah subhanaw taala. And one of

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

the pillars of Eman as we know.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

It is believing in kodra. That is destiny, whether it be good or

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26

bad.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

So even if there are trials, even if they're tribulations, a person

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

has to bear it with patients and a believers situation. It is always

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

a win win situation. If God befalls him, he is grateful and

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

thankful to Allah subhanaw taala. And if there's any test or any

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

tribulation, he bears it with patience, and you will be rewarded

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52

for it. So for a believer, it's a win win situation. And suicide is

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

never the solution.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

And as you ask no question that

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

the person has committed suicide, and if he performs a bother and if

00:03:03 --> 00:03:07

he's a righteous person, will he go to paradise? A true and a

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12

practicing believer, a true and a practicing Muslim, he will never

00:03:12 --> 00:03:12

commit suicide

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19

because he will never give up on the life on the trials and

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

tribulations in this world. He will be patient and

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

he will be content with whatever Allah subhanaw taala has decreed

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

upon him and Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran and

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

Sunnah such acronym for Western for the for Inessa chapter number

00:03:33 --> 00:03:38

four Psalm 116 in Allah Allah yellowfin not unusual Robbie, way

00:03:38 --> 00:03:43

up through Madonna delicacy mugisha that Allah subhanaw taala.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

He will not forgive the sin of Sheikh but he may forgive any

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49

other sin if he pleases.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:56

So if Allah subhanaw taala pleases He may forgive your sins even if

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

it be suicide, and he made directly admitted into the gardens

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

of Paradise. If Allah wishes he may punish you in Hellfire for

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

some time and later on, admit you into the gardens of Paradise. It

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

is Allah's prerogative.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

And our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said that anyone

00:04:13 --> 00:04:17

who says La ilaha illallah anyone who believes in the shahada that

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

is La ilaha illallah, Muhammad Rasool Allah, there is no God but

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

Allah and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him as a messenger, he

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

will enter paradise and upload Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

said In another Hadith, that anyone who has an atom's weight of

00:04:29 --> 00:04:34

iman in his heart, he will enter paradise. So eventually the

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

believers even if they have an atom's weight of iman in their

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

heart, eventually they will enter Paradise,

00:04:42 --> 00:04:48

so shall never despair, of the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala even

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

if we are tested, even if we are trial,

00:04:51 --> 00:04:56

even if there are tribulations in this life, our main focus our main

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

goal should be attaining the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

should be attained

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

meaning Janna and if this is our main goal, even if we have trials

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

and tribulations in this life, we know that it is temporary, but the

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

home of the Hereafter, it is eternal and it is everlasting and

00:05:13 --> 00:05:16

the believers they will abide in paradise forever.

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

So the life

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

of the hereafter, it is eternal and it is everlasting.
