How is your Mental Health? | Mufti Menk

My brothers and sisters, there is never reason to commit suicide. Nobody should kill themselves because it is prohibited. Allah says, Allah is so merciful. ""In verse number twenty-nine of Surah An-Nisa, Allah Almighty says, "Don't kill yourselves because indeed Allah is very merciful upon you." You might be going through really tough days, but don't worry. Take it in your stride. Remember Allah, try your best, and days will change. The, the darkness will be followed by daybreak. A day will come when you will look back and s- tell yourself, "I was so silly to even think about suicide. Look at how happy I am right now." Subhanallah. So suicide in Islam is prohibited. There is no reason in Islam that a person should actually kill himself. Allah says, "Don't do that." And the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, speaks of how the punishment of a person who commits suicide is. And obviously, when a person has committed suicide from the family members, a lot of people have a lot to say. Now, the family requires healing because obviously someone's just passed away. They did something that they're not supposed to have done. Now, there is an element of hope because we don't know the condition of the mind of the person at the point of the act of suicide.
