Antidote to Suicide<br />

his soul is not relaxed owing to grief, but if he starts to ponder<br />

over the sad demise of Sayyidunā Ali Akbar<br />

then he<br />

<br />

<br />

shall easily observes patience even to the extent<br />

that he will be grateful for this comparatively small misfortune.<br />

For the rest of the portion of Ḥadīš, Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān<br />

Na’īmī <br />

ع has stated: Such a person passes through his<br />

life in jealousy, impatience and in heart rending tension. This<br />

impatient person is jealous to the rich considering ‘I have such<br />

little wealth!’ He becomes proud of his prayers and deeds on<br />

seeing a person who does not offer Ṣalāĥ by considering<br />

himself much more righteous than him. This produces<br />

sentiments of arrogance in him. Allah says:<br />

ۡ ٰ ٰ ۤ ۡ ۡ <br />

ۡ ٰ ۡ ۡ ۡ <br />

<br />

<br />

So that you may not grieve over what is lost to you, nor rejoice<br />

over what is given to you.<br />

(Sūraĥ-Al-Ḥadīd, Part. 27, Verse 23) [Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Qurān)]<br />

Our Great Prophet ٖ <br />

<br />

ع said, ‘Whoever mourns<br />

over some worldly loss becomes closer to hell by the distance<br />

of one thousand years and he who grieves on some religious<br />

loss becomes closer to paradise by the distance of one<br />

thousand years.’ (Mirāĥ-ul-Manājīḥ Vol. 7 pg 76-77) It should<br />

be clear that it is not prohibited to make worldly progress but<br />

feeling of envy towards the affluence of others is not permitted.<br />
