Suicide

Suicidal thoughts

Q: I'm writing to you because I really need answers to my question. About 3 years ago it started, I felt anxious and depressed, often thought about suicide. And it's been happening so far. I don't know what to do. I just feel hopeless, think about suicide a lot, even did self harm. I mean I wanted to cut my wrist. I want to die so bad, I really need help, what can I do? What should I ask from God that helps me to feel okay?

Combating suicidal thoughts

Q: I have physical problems like high blood pressure and higher tension also. My mind is always full of negative thoughts. I am kind of a pessimist person. I never succeed in any place either, neither education nor work. My biggest problem is my fear and nervousness. Sometimes I feel like committing suicide. I know it's gunah e kabbira. Please help me.

Explanation of how a person who committed suicide will be punished

Q: "Whoever kills himself with a knife will abide in the fire of hell, perpetually stabbing his belly with it, undying therein forever. And whoever hurls himself from a mountain and kills himself shall abide in the fire of hell, perpetually falling to his death, undying therein forever."

I have copied the above from a screenshot from the reliance of the traveler (Shafi’i Fiqh). After resurrection, will any human or jinn die or will they live forever without ever dying? How is this narration understood?

Suicide in Islam

Q: What does Islam say about a person committing suicide because of black magic? I know suicide is haraam in Islam, but if the person who committed suicide was a really pious man, prayed five times a day and lived his whole life according to Islam, but in the last month of his life, he started seeing things who were telling him to take his life, not to pray and eventually he took his life, then what is his status?
