So let's take the first question. Assalamu alaikum I am fires
Hussein
from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am a school student. If a Muslim commit
suicide, will he be a dweller of hellfire forever? Will his
punishment never end? Even if he was a righteous person in this
worldly life and perform a bother to Allah? Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Glorious Quran in surah Nisa, chapter number four
was number 29, wala taco, Tulu and forsaken and kill not yourself. So
suicide is clearly prohibited in the Glorious Quran, and suicide.
It is a major sin. According to Imam of the Hubby, he writes, in
his book, I'll cover the 70 major sins, wherein he lists the major
sins. And he says that suicide is on number 29 in his list of major
sins, suicide, it is clearly prohibited in Islam.
And the punishment for the person who commit suicide it is mentioned
in the hadith of Abdullah Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, when
he said that if a person kills himself with a piece of iron, then
on the day of judgment in hellfire, he will kill himself
again and again in the same manner with the piece of iron.
If a person drinks poison, and kills himself, then in the
hereafter in hellfire, he will keep drinking this poison, and
we'll do it again and again. So the punishment for the person who
commits suicide is that he will kill himself the same way in
hellfire
and suicide, it is never the solution.
This life it is a test for the hereafter. Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Glorious Quran surah Mulk. Chapter 67 was number two
allele holofoil motor will hire Leah blue Akuma ucommerce anomala
it is Allah who has created death and life to test which of your
good deeds, this life it is a test for the hereafter.
So even if a person has trials and tribulations yes to bear it with
patience and perseverance, and if a person commits suicide, he is
being ungrateful to the decree of Allah subhanaw taala. And one of
the pillars of Eman as we know.
It is believing in kodra. That is destiny, whether it be good or
bad.
So even if there are trials, even if they're tribulations, a person
has to bear it with patients and a believers situation. It is always
a win win situation. If God befalls him, he is grateful and
thankful to Allah subhanaw taala. And if there's any test or any
tribulation, he bears it with patience, and you will be rewarded
for it. So for a believer, it's a win win situation. And suicide is
never the solution.
And as you ask no question that
the person has committed suicide, and if he performs a bother and if
he's a righteous person, will he go to paradise? A true and a
practicing believer, a true and a practicing Muslim, he will never
commit suicide
because he will never give up on the life on the trials and
tribulations in this world. He will be patient and
he will be content with whatever Allah subhanaw taala has decreed
upon him and Allah subhanaw taala says in the Glorious Quran and
Sunnah such acronym for Western for the for Inessa chapter number
four Psalm 116 in Allah Allah yellowfin not unusual Robbie, way
up through Madonna delicacy mugisha that Allah subhanaw taala.
He will not forgive the sin of Sheikh but he may forgive any
other sin if he pleases.
So if Allah subhanaw taala pleases He may forgive your sins even if
it be suicide, and he made directly admitted into the gardens
of Paradise. If Allah wishes he may punish you in Hellfire for
some time and later on, admit you into the gardens of Paradise. It
is Allah's prerogative.
And our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said that anyone
who says La ilaha illallah anyone who believes in the shahada that
is La ilaha illallah, Muhammad Rasool Allah, there is no God but
Allah and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him as a messenger, he
will enter paradise and upload Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
said In another Hadith, that anyone who has an atom's weight of
iman in his heart, he will enter paradise. So eventually the
believers even if they have an atom's weight of iman in their
heart, eventually they will enter Paradise,
so shall never despair, of the Mercy of Allah subhanaw taala even
if we are tested, even if we are trial,
even if there are tribulations in this life, our main focus our main
goal should be attaining the pleasure of Allah subhanaw taala
should be attained
meaning Janna and if this is our main goal, even if we have trials
and tribulations in this life, we know that it is temporary, but the
home of the Hereafter, it is eternal and it is everlasting and
the believers they will abide in paradise forever.
So the life
of the hereafter, it is eternal and it is everlasting.
