Is Suicide Under any Circumstances Justified in Islam? - Dr Zakir Naik 

The attack on Bilkis Bano and her family was one of the most horrific crimes during the riots, which began after 60 Hindu pilgrims died in a fire on a passenger train in Godhra town. Blaming Muslims for starting the fire, Hindu mobs went on a rampage, attacking Muslim neighbourhoods. Over three days, more than 1,000 people died, most of them Muslims. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was then Gujarat chief minister, was criticised for not doing enough to prevent the carnage. He has always denied wrongdoing and has not apologised for the riots. In 2013, a Supreme Court panel also said that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute him. But critics have continued to blame him for the riots happening on his watch. Over the years, the courts have convicted dozens of people for involvement in the riots, but some high-profile accused got bail or were exonerated by higher courts. This included Maya Kodnani, an ex-minister and aide to Mr Modi, whom a trial court had called "the kingpin of the riots". And now the men who wronged Bilkis Bano have also been set free. The morning after the train fire, Bilkis Bano - then 19 and pregnant with her second child - was visiting her parents in a village called Randhikpur near Godhra with her three-year-old daughter. "I was in the kitchen making lunch, when my aunt and her children came running. They said their homes were being set on fire and we had to leave immediately," she told me. "We left with just the clothes we were wearing, we didn't even have the time to put on our slippers." Bilkis Bano was in a group of 17 Muslims that included her daughter, her mother, a pregnant cousin, her younger siblings, nieces and nephews, and two adult men. Over the next few days, they travelled from village to village, seeking shelter in mosques or subsisting on the kindness of Hindu neighbours. On the morning of 3 March, as they set out to go to a nearby village where they believed they would be safer, a group of men stopped them. "They attacked us with swords and sticks. One of them snatched my daughter from my lap and threw her on the ground, bashing her head into a rock." Her attackers were her neighbours in the village, men she had seen almost daily while growing up. They tore off her clothes and several of them raped her, ignoring her pleas for mercy. Her cousin, who had delivered a baby two days earlier while they were on the run, was raped and murdered and her newborn was killed. Bilkis Bano survived because she lost consciousness and her attackers left, believing she was dead. Two boys - seven and four - were the only other survivors of the massacre. Bilkis Bano's fight for justice was long and nightmarish. It has been well documented that some police and state officials tried to intimidate her, evidence was destroyed and the dead were buried without post-mortems. The doctors who examined her said she hadn't been raped, and she received death threats. The first arrests in the case were made only in 2004 after India's Supreme Court handed over the case to federal investigators. The top court also agreed that courts in Gujarat could not deliver her justice and transferred her case to Mumbai. Her fight for justice was also disruptive for her family - they've had to move home nearly a dozen times.

And she is still alive...

Just to be clear I can't imagine what I'd do if I was in their place. That being said instead of finding ways to end yourself it's better to defend and die in that struggle. Islam teaches us to fight for our rights (life) until the last breath. Again I can't imagine the pain/the mental turmoil one would be in such extreme scenario especially if that person is non muslim it might be extremely hard to not take one's own life. As Muslims we are taught about the hardships our ancestors had to go through and how the survivors had to keep on living so they could tell the tale and to not let the enemy have the satisfaction by giving into despair. By taking your own life you're by your own hands taking away your chance for once again living a content life. This is why it's forbidden we are given free will but all these rules were placed to safeguard our existence so to speak. I hope I answered your question I did my best to choose my words carefully if I still came off as insensitive then my apologies.

I believe so yes, because you are saving yourself from harm, you are not committing suicide over a petty reason such as your boyfriend left you or something silly like that

It is perception, just like how on the beach it looks like the sun sets in the ocean, he saw the sun set in the waters of a dirty spring

@@phantom_sy Thanks brother. Atheists often use this verse as proof that the Koran allegedly says the sun sets in a muddy spring and this contradicts science

Quran is the biggest miracle, super natural thing, revelation and many other good things.

@@speshwemmick6225 Mention the verse 😏

@@normalisoverrated It's a weak Hadith But if it's true, it doesn't matter even if the goat ate the entire Qur'an Aisha, PBUH, memorized the whole Qur'an, so she can write them again 😏

@@speshwemmick6225 If you can't mention the verse, just say, "I can't" And they are not "books" 🤡

@@Joachim4964 Weak or not It doesn't matter Go read the rest of the comment, clown

you want the 72 virgins and young buy servants in the heaven therefore you re a muslim yes😂😂

Send your father here

@@normalisoverrated His videos don't even reach 500 comments and he didn't freeze anything It was a very embarrassing attempt from a Christian Princess fan

@@speshwemmick6225 As well as I can't see his coward face And I was talking about Zakir Naik's videos, LOL

​@@speshwemmick6225 You act like bots. Last time I checked his channel, he paid people with voice changer to impersonate Farid Responds and Sheikh Uthman. He lies and deceives right in your face, and you're here glorifying him like his bots. Oh did I mention how disgustingly pervert he is? How very christian-like.

Not true hadiths say people suffering from mental illness that led to them suiciding that was justified

​@@Dav624 Hadiths point out that those who commit suicide will end up in Hell with no exceptions. Don't make up your own rules

@@shihanafridhi9517 there was an exception for someone described in the Hadiths so u must clearly read more

​@@Dav624 harming one's own body is NOT the behaviour of a sane person. the Qur'an forbids taking one's own life and same for the Hadiths including one narrated by Abu Huraira (RA). the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) forbade funerals for those who committed suicide. Now, don't be harsh, I *do* love and respect brother Dr. Zakir Naik for the sake of Allah (SWT), but NOT everything that he says is right.

@@shihanafridhi9517 u clearly are missing the point I'm making suicide in general is prohibited but in rare cases for instance when ur in war and u get heavily injured and u decide to end ur life to end the unbearable pain these are the exceptions where suicide isn't really Haram because the person couldn't handle it
