Committing suicide in Islam is haram (forbidden) -sheik Khalid Yasin

Allah says:
"O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual goodwill: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful!
"If any do that in rancour and injustice, soon shall We cast them into the Fire: and easy it is for Allah." (Qur'an, 29:30)
The Muslims know well that suicide is absolutely prohibited by Allah. No Muslim commits suicide, because if he does, he will have the Hell-fire as his eternal abode. The Prophet says:
"He who throws himself from a mountain and kills himself will be thrown in the fire and remain in it forever; and he who sips poison and kills himself will have his poison in his hand and sip it forever and ever in the fire of hell." (Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawood and Nasai)
