Have you ever felt so exhausted with life that you thought, "I'd rather die than live like this"? This feeling might come when facing problems that seem unbearable, such as illness, poverty, or deep sadness.
Wishing for Death
Words of the Prophetﷺ
Indeed, when one of you dies, their deeds come to an end, nd the life of a believer is not extended except for goodness.
Book35Ch.4No.6485
Muslim. (2018) Sahih Muslim. Translated by A. Hameed Siddiqui.
Putting Life and Death in Allah's Hands Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: "None of you should wish for death because of a calamity that befalls him.However, if he must wish for death, let him pray, 'O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and cause me to die when death is better for me.'"
Death Ends the Chance to Do Good and Repent Rasulullah (ﷺ) said: " No one should wish for death. If someone is doing good, they can add to their good deeds, and if they've done wrong, they can still repent to Allah."
In Surah Al-A'raf: 34, Allah says: "For each community there is an appointed term. When their time arrives, they can neither delay it for a moment, nor could they advance it."
Do Not Pray for Harm Do not supplicate for harm upon yourselves, do not supplicate for harm upon your children, and do not supplicate for harm upon your wealth. Do not let it be that you ask Allah for something harmful at a time when He is answering supplications, lest your supplication be answered.
