Why is suicide haraam when Allah SAW has already decided how we will die?

Question

I mean, Allah has already decided or knows how everyone's life will end, so why is it wrong to suicide as we are bound to die like that?

I know that if we suiciding, we are dying with our own will, but shouldnt it be allowed as such a death has already been written in our fate?

Answer 1

Who let this bunny out of the hat!! hahaha

There is 2 paths your choices and the path of submission

I have been telling you this and you don't seem to get it, what too lonely in that hat? HAHA

edit: Ok then, it was answered with Musa A.s. for your body is your temple and your temple is sanctified by God but you can harm it if you are not careful. Its a responsbility and a privilage with mercy, grace and blessings from Allah SWT.

That is why he needed Arron A.s. because he burned his tongue and had a speach impediment for the rest of his life... remember the stone! The hot one! LOL man that dude was ignorant! AstugfarAllah

You can also look at it another way when Allah SWT sent Musa A.s. with Khadir Ra. and that one boy was murdered by Khadir and Musa A.s. was going all off line on him and it was order from Allah for the boy was bad and the parents where good and so it was ordered for the boy to be murdered.  To me that is extream but whom am I to go against what Allah SWT wishes.  So there is some validity to what your saying, surely someone like Kert Kobain the singer who took hos own life was famous and did it and was an example of sorts for us to witness.  Some things are left for example.. BUNNY! hahah

Answer 2

Go ahead and kill yourself, just don't take anybody else with you.  

Answer 3

He knows the future but He doesnot force  sm1 to do smth ... God says dont kill yourself .. If a person kills himself he kills himself by his own will.

God knows but He doesnot make sm1 commint suicide ......

THe person does that himself .....

I can give simple example ... If u are gonna eat 2 banans at 2pm on 6/9/2008  .. then God will have written that u will eat 2 bananas at this day before ur birth ... now when the time comes that u have to eat .. God wont force u to eat that .. but u will eat urself ... but at the same time God will have already written that before ur birth .. this doesnot mean that He forced you because He had written that .. It means that He knew what will happen but u did urself

Answer 4

a person can be murderer for his own death, So he/she has to respond to Allah(swt)!!

Answer 5

Because suicide is a choice of the free will and free will is not dictated by Allah.  That is what makes human beings unique and superior to all other creations, ever superior than angels, but not necessarily better.

Answer 6

If you're depressed little bunny, get help. Don't don't off yourself based on this one little piece of information.

Answer 7

cuz we choose our way..

we choose our sins , and we choose our goodness..

allah only knows what happened & happens & will happen , but allah dont choose for us ..

we make our decisions..

if we werent responsible for our actions , then there would be no h**l or heaven..

always love and peace..

Answer 8

suicide is a major sin which angers Allah, and Allah will cause whoever kills himself to be punished in Hellfire for eternity,

Allah (swt) says:

"...And that ye slay not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath command you, in order that ye may discern" (6:151)

and

`Abdullah ibn Mas`ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah said :

"The blood of a Muslim may not be legally spilt other than in one of three [instances] : the married person who commits adultery; a life for a life; and one who forsakes his religion and abandons the community (gama`ah) [of Islam]."

Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim.

“Whoever purposely throws himself from a mountain and kills himself, will be in Hellfire perpetually falling down in it and abiding therein forever. Whoever drinks poison and kills himself with it, will carry his poison in his hand and keep drinking it in Hellfire wherein he will abide eternally. Whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, will carry that weapon in his hand and perpetually stab his abdomen with it in Hellfire wherein he will abide eternally.”

Answer 9

When a person chooses to end their life they are taking matters of life and death into their own hands, and that is strictly Gods decision. Yes, God knows exactly when everyone will die, but killing yourself doesnt make it okay just cause God knows about it. We are allowed free will in our lives to make decisions based on morality and we know that killing ourselves is Har'am, but God allows us to follow through with it because He allows us free choice. Now whether He allows us to die or not at that moment is up to Him, it's not the dying itself that is haram as we all die, it's making that choice to take your life and following through with it that is.

Answer 10

From what i know about the religion and as i have studied many religions....

He KNOWS how you are going to die.

You are the one that decides how its done.

He also knows your decision for doing this.

That is the free will which He has given you.

As you exercise this free will, it is made haraam upon you.

Its a choice you make.

He just knows what choice you have made for yourself,

and He writes that down.

Understand?

Answer 11

by this logic even murder should be allowed.

Answer 12

thats an interesting question

but allah swt has given us so much freedom, that during our lives, the things we do can change our fate/destiny. so basically if it was written we will die by committing suicide and we don't then this means we changed our fate cuz allah swt has given us the freedom to.

e.g when we r born, allah swt writes whether we go to heaven or h**l but during our lifetimes, we can change that =]

i cnt explain stuff properly lol but i hope u kinda get wat i mean

Answer 13

Allah KNOWS  whats gonna happen but ultimately ppl choose what they wanna do. We pick our paths on our own (free will).

Allah didn't decide what our faiths would be. We pick them. But Allah knows what we're going to pick.

At least thats my belief

Answer 14

good job, Far! This is why organized religion is the bane of human existence...guilt, nonsense, and hate...that is what it breeds. Keep questioning the source,  no one will have clear answers for you because it is all bunk. I love and accept everyone, this is the best "religious" experience one can ask for.

Answer 15

It's haraam b/c Allah has given you a life for a reason and it's a gift and one should respect it. One shouldn't just end cuz of whatever.

Answer 16

because  allah will choose how we die and when we die, he already knows and its not our descision to take our own lives if we are but the servants of god.

Answer 17

Suicide is an act of free will.  

Answer 18

I posted a question like this sorta a bit ago.......but not quite.  

I don't believe allah decided for us how we will live our life......he does allow and disallow for us to achieve certain things.....but its up to us to put in the time.   (he might've given you the ability to be a professional soccer player, but you yourself didn't like soccer so never played it).  

What i believe is that allah has written our life before we were born because he already knows what we'll do.   (science even tells us that our futures are already "written" and that all points in time exist at the same moment)

Now with suicide and some of what i've written above.   Allah may have prescribed for us a time and way to die, but has "written" we chose suicide.   He did not will us commit suicide, but already knew the person would.
