 why people commit suicide is because of abuse, my dear brothers and sisters. When there's physical, emotional, and psychological abuse in the family, the father, he's abusive with his children. Sometimes that pushes them to suicide. The husband is abusive with his wife. Siblings abusive with another. Every abusive father should know that there are consequences for his actions. If his son or daughter committed suicide or hurt themselves because of that abuse, on the day of judgment, Allah SWT will consider this father a murderer. And also the husband who pushed his wife to commit suicide, he is a murderer in the eyes of Allah SWT. This is serious. I've known people who committed suicide because of abusive parents. Don't think there are no consequences for the words that you say, for the actions that you do, for the abuse that goes on in the family. And if anyone detects abuse in the family, my dear brothers and sisters, don't say it's none of my business. I don't want to get involved. You could be saving lives. Bullying abuse does lead to suicide. And the fourth reason, amongst many other reasons, is loneliness and social isolation. This also does lead to suicide. So my dear brothers and sisters, what can we do? First of all, if you see someone who is depressed, you sense they're depressed, take it seriously. Talk to them about it. Sometimes when they open up their hearts to you, you can save them. You can give them guidance. Talk to them about it. Show them that you care. Sometimes one word that comes from you can save someone's life. One word. One small act. A few years ago in the Netherlands, there was a young boy who had went to the Friday prayers, and it was the day of the birth of the Prophet, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. So he took some flowers because he had heard in the sermon that you should go to your neighbors, give them flowers, and let them know that today is a special day. Show acts of kindness. He takes this flower. He goes randomly. He knocks at a door. After a while, it took a while for the door to be opened. After a while, an old woman opened the door. What do you want? Who are you? He's like, today is a special day, and I would like to give you this flower. That's it. This lady in the Netherlands, this Dutch lady, she says, I was upstairs in my room about to commit suicide when my door was knocked. I thought, who's, did somebody, you know, by mistake stop by to see me? She's like, I was about to kill myself, and I'm like, no, let me just go and see who it is. She went to the door. She opened it. She's like that six-year-old boy and his flower saved my life, because I knew that there is at least one soul, one person in the universe who cares about me, even to the point where they're coming to my house and giving me a flower. A small act can save someone's life. Don't ever underestimate these acts, my dear brothers and sisters. Show that genuine concern. The second thing we, as a community, can do, my dear brothers and sisters, we have to remove the stigma that is associated with mental disorders, with people who struggle with mental health, because you know what's happening in the community. When we hear that someone's depressed, someone's feeling lonely, automatically do you know what we say? Ah, this person has issues, this person's crazy, this person has no faith, this person doesn't believe in Allah. No, remove the stigma. This is normal, and we need to encourage them to seek help, because they need help. Going to therapists, that's something that we as religious scholars, we highly encourage. Of course, not any therapist, because I know sometimes there are some therapists that you go to, all they want to do is just give you medication. Just recently, a brother told me, he hesitated to go to a therapist, he told me, say it, I once went to a therapist and he was eating popcorn. Don't go to any therapist, do research. Go to someone who's trusted, someone who has good reviews, but that's important. Sometimes you just need that help, and we as a community, we should not look down upon that. If you hear someone, a friend, a family member is seeking therapy, don't put them down. This is unacceptable. And finally, my dear brothers and sisters, the Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa alayhi, teaches us, as we celebrate his Mab'ath, he teaches us that Allah also gives you healing. Don't forget that. Doesn't the Quran say, وَنُنَزْزُلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَا شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِنْ بُؤْمِنِينَ The Quran has the power of healing. Resort to Allah, resort to the Holy Quran and you see Allah, swt, healing you, my dear brothers and sisters. The Prophet, salallahu alayhi wa alayhi, when he was depressed, when his heart was constricted, his chest was tight, you know what he would do? Allah, swt, talks about this in the Quran. Allah says, and we know that your chest becomes tight. يَضِيقُ صَدُرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ. So what do you do, يا رسول الله. فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكْ وَكُنْ مِنَ السَّاجَدِينِ Fall into Sujood. Resort to Allah, swt. Allah will deliver that healing to you. So we ask Allah, swt, to help all those who are suffering and to give us the wisdom as a community to do something productive about this, inshallah.
