Atheists have the highest rate of suicide while Muslims have the lowest.

other major faiths such as Buddhism Christianity and Hinduism are between those two.

Who needs suicide when you're already living in hell

@Islamreligion Allah declares suicide to be haram in one part of the Quran but then when it comes to doubting Mohammad, Allah encourages suicide:

Quran 22:15:

Whoever thinks that Allah will not help His Prophet in this world and the Hereafter, let them stretch out a rope to the ceiling and strangle themselves, then let them see if this plan will do away with ˹the cause of˺ their rage.

@SkeetSkeet
You said :
“ Who needs suicide when you're already living in hell”
Then when I asked for an elaboration on your statement you jumped to an entire different point instead of elaboration.

Anyways my dear,
As for the point you made regarding verse 22:15
It actually has [b] two legit[/b] different explanations amongst scholars.
why? Because the original Arabic word in the verse is “sama “ which translates into English to sky /heaven or ceiling so it is either :
1/ if you (disbelievers and hypocrites) think that God will not support his prophet and you have enormous envy and hatred towards him and the revelation that comes down to him in your heart then attempt to strangle yourself from the ceiling of your home
Then in that situation check does that remove your rage ? Obviously not they are suffocating . Meaning no matter what you do even if you go to that extent , your rage will not hinder the aid of God to his prophet or for your rage to be extinguished.
It is metaphoric and in no way it encourages suicide it actually does the opposite effect.
Especially where there is a clear verse in the Quran prohibiting suicide.

2/ the second opinion which is also legit is that the word sama refers to the actual and literal sky
so the verse means “if you can” then climb up the sky and cut off the revelation of God from being sent down to his prophet
(Obviously you can’t )

Some English translations like the one you used stressed the first point
Some translations stresses the second point
So both are accepted by scholars and the verse could mean “either “
Wether 1 or 2
So Your argument isn’t factual.
But wether 1 or 2
The main point is the same
Wether you attempt to hang yourself or climb up the sky to cut off revelation
(Which both is metaphoric )
It is saying that that is not the solution.
It is literally in the context of dispraise.

Have a wonderful day 💕
