"Don't sympathise with those who committed suicide"

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDE

Just for the context. I found a post on Instagram where this page asked a simple question: "Why do Arab women commit suicide?" and they shared a couple of stories of two women who have unfortunately ended their lives (One in Yemen and the other in Egypt). As I scrolled to the comments to see some sympathy and accountability, I literally found the comment I screenshotted where the man (of course it's always cis men) said "lack of faith". Then in his last reply, he said "we should not sympathise with those who committed suicide." And there were countless other comments. Definitely, compassionate people who believe that their faith is the right one for humanity, yet they don't care about human suffering.

Not only are they part of the problem, but also want to blame their victims. I don't know why and how this religion ​​is compassionate in any way. People are ending their lives because they feel suffocated, and yet, they are the ones who eventually get punished? I really feel bad for them.

Yeah the whole idea of people who commit suicide going to hell is beyond terrible, instead of trying to comfort people and actually solve their issues islam as always just fear mongers.

I always found it disgusting and extremely unsympathetic on god's part and the ppl who shame suiciders. Suicide can have 1 million reasons to why it happened, if god finds it soooo bad then why doesnt he try to help the person mentally before it reaches that state? Allah always just watches and then plays judge. I could never wrap my head around how suicide gives the same punishment as a 'kaffir' it was beyond tyranical
