According to the teaching of Quran, committing suicide is a foremost sin and the person who commit suicide is liable to have eternal damnation and rage of Almighty Allah in the world and the henceforth and undeniably Almighty Allah forbids heaven for him. There is nothing more prized than life. Neither a man nor a woman is pleased with the right to take their life. Allah, praise to Him, strongly prohibited committing suicide, killing children because fear of poverty or any other body, as stated in verses holy Quran. Say, “Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. (He commands) that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, and do not kill your children because of poverty; we will endow with for you and them. And do not approach immoralities – what is apparent of them and what is concealed”. Islamic Views on Suicide, in the light of the teachings of Islam, is forbidden. Those who Commit it, they disobey Allah and will be cursed to Hell. Before discussing the evidences of the Quran, Islam tells how big crime it is to commit suicide.

Here are the words of the Prophet (S.A.W): Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: Whoever kills himself down from the mountain, so they will be in the Fire, to abide therein, and will continue to fall remain there. Poison you and the person who removed the poison will be in his hands at the fire of hell he does and always will be there. Whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, and then the weapon will be in his hands which he hit in the belly of hell fire will always and forever will always remain there (Bukhari).
Therefore, Islam emphasizes on protecting lives. Based on the causes and prevention of suicide, teachings are also given for the protection of human life and energy. This is why suicide is strictly forbidden. Suicide is forbidden in Light of Holy Quran. The master of life and death is Almighty Allah. As to kill someone is like killing the whole humanity, similarly committing suicide without any reason is undesirable. Even though one who commit suicide, will burn in hell forever, but the departed was a Muslim before doing this act and he will be buried as per normal Muslim society. Such a person will be given Ghusl, Janaaza Salaat and burial in a Muslim cemetery as is the case with any other sinful Muslim. Hadith of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him warned of the double penalty for the one who commits suicide. Here are the words of the Prophet (S.A.W): Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: Whoever kills himself down from the mountain, so they will be in the Fire, to abide therein, and will continue to fall remain there. Poison you and the person who removed the poison will be in his hands at the fire of hell he does and always will be there. Whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, and then the weapon will be in his hands which he hit in the belly of hell fire will always and forever will always remain there (Bukhari).
