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.
A: A Mu'min, in whichever condition he may be, should turn to Allah Ta'ala. The solution to all problems lies in the hands of Allah Ta'ala. In order for one to receive the mercy of Allah Ta'ala and barkat in his life, one should ensure that he is leading a life according to the Sunnah and not displeasing Allah Ta'ala at any time.
A believer should have a high resolve and determination together with trusting in Allah Ta'ala and placing one's confidence and reliance upon Him. A believer should not lose heart and lose hope in the mercy of Allah Ta'ala. Losing hope in the mercy of Allah Ta'ala is the way of the kuffaar. If a person places his reliance upon himself or upon people, then the outcome will be grief and misery when one does not find the end result conforming to one's wishes and desires.
Therefore, the way to acquire success is for one to turn to the obedience of Allah Ta'ala and lead a life in conformity to the mubaarak sunnah of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Be conscious of observing purdah, guarding the eyes and the tongue and performing the five daily Salaah on it's prescribed time. Ensure that you always remain in pious company so that you are not lured towards sin. Daily conduct taleem at home of Fazaa'il-e-A`maal, Fazaa'il-e-Sadaqaat, Bahishti Zewar and Seeratul Mustafa. Recite a portion of the Qur'aan Shareef, engage in zikr and the recitation of durood shareef and beg Allah Ta`ala to strengthen your imaan and keep you firm on your imaan. May Allah Ta'ala assist you in your difficulties and bless you with good health and happiness.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
