A letter to my late best friend

By

Dear B,

I don’t know how you are in your next life and I don’t know whether Allah has forgiven you.

I was very sorry when I heard about your suicide. I didn’t believe it first; I couldn’t even imagine you can suicide. I was shocked after being sure.

I later called your mother and talked about you. I hope she is OK now.

X, why did you kill yourself? I was informed that it was related to a relationship. My friend, you were a Muslim. As a Muslim, it was not appropriate for you to kill yourself because of a prohibited relationship with a girl. Allah has sent us in this life only to worship him alone. Our lives belong to Him only. That’s why we say ‘Inna lillah’ when someone dies. The sentence ‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rojiun’ means ‘Verily we are for Allah and to Him we will return.’ Our life, death, love, aspiration, everything is for Allah alone. After knowing all these, how could you sacrifice yourself for someone else? I assume you were too excited to think about that.

I hope Allah will forgive you if you die with faith. I also hope that no Muslim would ever die like that. May Allah help all of us to realize our real purpose in this life and keep faith in Him.

Your best friend from your past life

Sany


[B was once my best friend. Sadly, he committed suicide most probably in 2013. His original name is kept hidden here.]
