circumstances, sometimes refuge is sought under a thorny tree known as a loan. Meaning, the burden of a loan needs to be carried to fulfil needs. Then this tree spreads its roots and becomes so strong that some weak minded individuals become inclined towards suicide. Sometimes the expensive school and tuition fees, increasing household expenditure, electricity and gas bills, demands from the landlord and creditor, new and extensive demands from family members push a person into such a closed room that the only way to salvation seems to be through suicide.

The cure for livelihood worry is contentment

If the mindset to live and eat in a simple way is developed in the real sense, then it will be possible to get by on a small income and perhaps no Muslim will commit the Haraam act of suicide which leads to hellfire. Remember, human desires are deeper than the ocean and wider than the heavens and the earth. Those people are truly blessed who whilst acting upon the Islamic teachings, adopt ‘contentment’ and take control of their desires to live a peaceful life.
