In the Name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving
All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Muhammad.
Suicide is haram because Allah has prohibited it: “Do not kill yourselves for God is Merciful to you.” (An-Nisaa 4:29)
Allah is the one who bestowed life on us, and so He alone has the right to take it away. We don’t own ourselves. Moreover, as long as we are alive we have a chance to repent and save ourselves; once we die, there is no hope left.
The Prophet, peace be upon him, warns us against taking our own lives no matter how hard the trials we face in life. He said, “Whoever stabs himself to death with a weapon he will continue to stab himself with the same forever in the hellfire on the Day of Resurrection.” (At-Tirmidhi and others)
Almighty Allah knows best.
