Is Suicide a Sin?
Suicide is a complex issue across all three faiths. Christianity historically called it a grave sin but modern views emphasize God's mercy and mental illness. Islam prohibits it but Allah's mercy is infinite. Judaism strongly preserves life while recognizing mental health. If you are in crisis, please contact a crisis counselor or mental health professional in your area.
