The Economics of Trying to Commit Suicide

[JASMIINE]

Hey fellow SOLers,

 

I've noticed some benefits for attempting to commit suicide in Xalimos.....

 

I have witnessed two attempted suicides with apparent benefits, first one was my 18 yrs old neighbor couple yrs ago. She was in love with the guy she was seeing and wanted to marry him. He was twenty and their parents thought they were too young and refused to let them get married. Well one summer night the girl drank one gallon of chlorox bleach (not completely sure) and she was found on the bathroom floor unconcious. After she got medical help and recovered she was allowed to marry :eek:

 

The other attempted suicide occured fairly recently: a friend of a friend was dating a guy and he kept getting cold feet in moving their relationship forward or getting married. There were even rumors that he wanted to end their relationship. After an argument she overdosed on bills and him seeing how series she was about him commited to keep the relationship.

 

So, is there really an apparent benefit in attempting suicide in Somalian girls? it is a way of getting attention and showing how serious they are? But we're muslims and i dont think that's a way to show their need for help.

A little too much bollywood influence, perhaps?

i dont think it is as simple as that, what if this attempt becomes fatal? After all life is not as simple as a movie?

You gotta be kidding me. Somali girls attempting suicide for faaraxs? I thought certain things were meant for certain people.

 

It’s tragic walaahi to see young girls become statistic. They need to seek professional help.

Yup. Hard to blv.

 

Tolerating Faaraxs = Understandable

Liking Faaraxs = plausible

Loving Faaraxs = slightly worrisome

Dying for Faaraxs = absolutely insane

i couldnt believe it either but it has happened and according to my mother it used to happen back home too. Obviosly anyone who wants to take his own life for a faarax has serios issues.

^^^^^Ladies where is your sense of romance ?

If these girls wanted to commit suicide, they would have used more serious weapon. However women are known to use lighter methods to commit suicide. Overdosing is common, it’s a form of wanting help from others. I have heard many stories where Somali women threaten to commit suicide if their partners were to leave them.

If my family ever try to get me to settle down with a farax I now know what to do..

[WILDCAT]

Suicide, comforting to know it's the only thing that will always be there for you if things get SO bad. :cool:

[Che -Guevara]

This is hardly any benefit to this. Just imagine a pleasant occassion like wedding associated with what should be one of happiest events in your life. Lets hope they get help.

Wow....Just contempt for so many people , majortity of whom you obviously don't know or never met. Ladies, looks like some issues of your own or do you just enjoy using "Faaraxs" as punching bags.

[Reality Check]

I mean...there are far bigger causes to be dying for than "faraaxs".

 

One thing is for sure..they need THERAPY in their lives..

[RendezVous]

Every breath of a human, every moment of his or hers life in all Religious traditions, their teachings, their guidance, their viewpoints, their perspectives is worth more than a priceless gem.

 

These breaths the human being takes in order to survive in life and the moments of life itself are like the pearls of a necklace. Just as a pearl will embellish the appearance of that neck that wears the necklace of pearls, in the same way the life of a individual is enhanced by that person who looks after the moments of his life. No Treasure trove of any Ruler, no Sultanate of any Sultan, no Kingdom of any King, no Rulership of any Queen in tantamount is equal in value to one moment of an individuals life.

 

Life in-fact in numerous places of the Quraan, either directly or indirectly, is described by Allah as a favour on human beings.

 

In one verse of the Quraan, Allah says,

 

" How can you disbelieve? Seeing that you were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then unto Him you will return." (Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 28)

Out of all the bounties Allah has bestowed upon human beings, the most precious is the gift of life. Each one us should remember that this life Allah has granted us, it is not our personal possession or our personal property. In-fact it is a trust from Allah, making us merely trustees. Because we are trustees we should utilise each and every moment of our lives in the paths that please Allah.

 

In one verse of the Quraan Allah informs mankind,

 

"And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)". (Surah Adh-Dhariyat Verse 56).

From this verse we can learn the reason why Allah created mankind.

 

How precious is this gift of life, we can learn through the Holy Quraan, Ahadeeth (Traditions and Sayings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) and the Shariah (Islamic Law).

 

Suicide In Islam.....Why should you kill yourself..

Maybe they don't want to die screaming and suffering with blood all over the place?

 

But this is sad. These Halimos don't need therapy bullshidh. What they need is go back to Somalia and stay with Batulo the witchdoctor for a few months. Her tariffs are low, but the results are great. I can give them her number. And when they are healed, I'll give them mine.
