Here..I'm showing the statistics of suicide based on religion, culture, etc...
Note that the following thread is NOT for any debate to occur between anyone or any groups. It's just knowledge that I feel like sharing.

Wow, nice. :o
Athiests highest suicide rate? :o
-
That is Serious :O
This reminds me ,the other day I was watching "The Doctors" and they talked about "Suicide" and the fact that 1 in 4 Americans commit Suicide and that a very big percentage of Americans suffer from Depression , you can see that in Movies ,you know how they take Pills for depression etc.
They also mentioned that there were some college students who are doing a campaign called "I care" to prevent people from committing Suicide.
From my experiences and friendships ,I now know that Suicide is mainly "A Person losing ALL Hope that is out there" , and if you are in such a situation or a loved one ,I suggest you find a cure for it as soon as possible and perhaps the least you could do is say "I care" with a Smile on your face ;)
GG =D

Wow, nice. :o
Athiests highest suicide rate? :o
LOL, yeah.
They end up getting really depressed. They don't really believe that there will be an after-life, so they do not have goals to keep them continue living and be patient for whatever trail they face.
Hmmm...This is what Allah said in the Quran : "But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment."
True happiness comes from following God's path. I always say it and will always repeat it. The stats proves it.
@GIGI, I watched that EPISODE! I saw it.
They said that every 15 mins, one person commits suicide in the west. I also heard about the 'I care' campaign.

^ OMG :o
I am glad Muslims are the least ones to commint sucide, its haram in our religion anyway
I cant even think of doing something like this, patience and tolerance is one of the things I have learned from my religion and from my elders
thanks for sharing

LOL yeah. There was this atheist guy who was arguing with me saying that Muslims are the most people to commit suicide and yes like NO. lol..then I found that link and told him this :
To Dan Danana >> You were not believing me when I said that people in USA and mostly non-Muslims commit suicide the most worldwide and you kept claiming that Muslims commit suicide, so NOW I got you ANOTHER PROOFS and evidence to what I was saying.
Please check this link, check the final page of the file >> http://www.iasp.info/pdf/p?apers/Bertolote.pdf
It's the suicide stats per religion and I would LOVE to guide you to the stats of Islam which is 0.1 percent. =] The a above article was written NOT BY A MUSLIM, NOT BY AN ARAB, NOT BY SOMEONE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST BUT by a professors from Switzerland who are NOT Muslims, who are NOT Arabs and who are NOT from the Middle East. =]
He didn't reply. lol. ::)
And yea, Islam teaches us tolerance and patience, also Islam tells us to always expect trials and take it as a test from God! :D
-
This is sad. After life is the main thing to look foward to.
(:
Agreed. Even a smile helps. :)
I hope the Muslim suicide rate falls to zero.
Mony: Nice one. 8)

That guy kept saying I'm just being biased and I'm sending him biased links written by Arabs and Muslims.
So I finally sent him this link which was NOT written by anyone from the Middle East or any Muslim.
After-life is the >>>>>>>>>>>>> GOAL. Without it..idk what else we would be looking forward to.

What a paka. :P
'him not replying' signified enough of yer victory! :P
True. (: Our MAIN aim in life.
-
Okay, it took me like 10 mins to find this :P
I think this should be posted here :D
A wise man saw someone crying next to a grave so he asked him "What makes you cry?" The main replied "I cry on a loved one who has left me because of death." The wise man said "Your mistake is that you loved someone who will certainly leave at the end but if had loved Allah the alive who never dies, he would have never left you."
Live every second like it's your last one. Forget, ignore, stop worrying, smile and MOVE ON! Life is shorter than we can ever imagine.

Not surprised! An atheist has never won a debate with any religious scholar. They're often frustrated within themselves because they can't find the answer to their "quagmire" if God exists or not. Due to this, most often they become Agnostics.
Also, the notion that "most intellectuals and scientists are atheists" has not been proven by any means till date.

I agree. (:
Angel: Nice quote. :P

I always knew that atheists were most prone to suicide, but now I have statistical data =D Thanks Mony, it's useful and insightful! It's true, people commit suicide because of loss of purpose, or the belief that no one cares for them anymore or they do not matter. Religion in general gives a purpose to cling onto and also a hope that if no one, then God cares. Here's an ayat from the Qura'n I remember in context, though there may be better references to quote but here it goes:
"When My servants ask thee concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calleth on Me: Let them also, with a will, Listen to My call, and believe in Me: That they may walk in the right way." (Surah Al-Baqara, Chapter #2, Verse #186)
Also, on a not so serious note, anyone notice that ladies are less likely to commit suicide than men? ::) Though then I also notice that the total number of deaths are less than the male-female ratio. I might just need to upgrade my understanding of bar charts, maybe xD
-
Alhamdulillah I am a Muslim....and let's pray that Muslims remain steadfast and patient :)
Thanks Mony, for sharing :)
-
Whhhoooaaa! Check this out on the first page:
"This represents on average one death every 20 seconds and one attempt every 1-2 seconds"
This is shocking and unbelievable :-X

I thought yuh were kidding. :-[
Yuh can explore other religion like Islam. ;D
Lia: Atheist are people who believe in atheism which is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist.

Brother, good job!
Try reading the translation, I would recommend reading the first Juz (the first part); its a lesson for all :)
-
Parts of the quran , not the whole thing of course ::)

-
ok i got some questions ,
wats a GOd?
-
^ If you wanna explore islam then, I suggest, reading about Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the best start
You can read the quran too but if you wanna understand islam then there is no point reading it without the translation
About the rules; yes there are rules but look at how having those rules benefits you as a person
-
Well, yuh cannot exactly just define God. ::)
God is our Creator.
According to the Qur'an, "No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. God is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things" (Qur'an 6:103).
God responds to those in need or distress whenever they call. Above all, God guides humanity.
We Muslims, believe in One God- Allah.
Islam teaches that God, as referenced in the Qur'an, is the only God and the same God worshipped by members of other Abrahamic religions such as Christianity and Judaism.
-
@angel: thats true angel!!
without those rules, we wouldnt a good humanbeing!
i suggest you read the stories of the Prophets from the beginning, start with Prophet Adam(AS).
IA, it will benefit you too dasith!
@romy- couldnt have said so better myself!!
Allah(God) is the sole creator and sustainer of the world and universe!

wat number shuld we dial to call god ?? ::)
-
ok i got some questions ,
wats a GOd?
There is no simple answer to it
I am not good at explaining things so maybe someone else might tell you better :P
Well, God(Allah) is the creator of this whole universe and everything it has inside, he created us humans and gave us the ability to think, talk, see and what not.
If you do good deeds, He rewards you and there is a punishment if you do a sin but if you repent He accepts your tauba (apology)
He knows everything, the future, the past
There is much more to it, it goes on :P
-

Pretty simple: PRAY (:
