Endowments Ministry addresses student suicides and Islamic views
The Egyptian Ministry of Endowments clarifies that the Islamic ruling on suicide is that it is one of the major sins explicitly forbidden by the Quran and the Sunnah. It is an act that is considered religiously and morally unacceptable. Quranic verses such as {And do not kill yourselves} emphasize that life is safeguarded by God, and harming oneself constitutes a violation of God's mercy, accompanied by stern warnings of the punishment of Hell for those who do so. Additionally, the Prophetic sayings confirm that whoever takes their own life will be punished in Hellfire, and that acts involving self-harm undermine a good ending and are considered acts of despair and disappointment. The article notes that suicide is often the result of weakened connection with God and despair, leading to individual, familial, and societal losses, harming future generations, and disrupting the social safety net. The remedy lies in building psychological and spiritual resilience, understanding that trials are part of life, and strengthening the roles of family and community. It involves offering prayers, psychological guidance, and support to combat despair, achieve mental peace, and foster hope. Emphasizing societal revitalization and raising awareness about the sanctity of life can prevent the recurrence of such phenomena and promote social and spiritual peace.
