صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers, 3 points become apparent from the aforementioned incident:

1. Our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم knew knowledge of the unseen through the bestowal of Allah Almighty, hence he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said about that individual that he is a dweller of Hell. Imam Nawavi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه states: He was called a hell dweller because suicide is a sin and that person will enter Paradise after suffering the punishment for his sin in the Hellfire. One opinion is that this individual who committed suicide was a hypocrite. (Sharh-e-Nawavi, vol. 1, pp. 123,)

2. Regardless of how pious someone outwardly looks, his days may be spent fasting and his nights in worship, no matter how greatly he worships and strives, he propagates and serves the noble religion, however if he has enmity in the heart towards the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, then there is no value for those deeds and worship.

3. Ending has a complete effect on deeds, hence it is mentioned in a Hadees Shareef: اِنَّمَا الْاَعْمَالُ بِالْخَوَاتِیْم meaning, deeds are dependent upon ending. (Musnad Ahmad, vol. 8, pp. 434, Hadees 22898)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Definition of suicide and its ruling

Dear Islamic brothers! Suicide is defined as ‘killing oneself.’ It is a grave sin, Haraam and an act that leads to Hell. This body is a blessing of Allah Almighty, sound and healthy limbs are a blessing of Allah Almighty, a beating heart is a blessing of Allah Almighty and each breath is a blessing of Allah Almighty. It is very important to preserve these blessings, whereas wasting life by committing suicide is a major sin.

Allah Almighty has said in part 5, Surah Nisa verse 29:
