Is It OK to Wish for Death? | Daily Reminders

by Dr. Omar Suleiman

Is it ok to wish or pray for God to take your life? Am I sinful for feeling this way? What is the best way to pray when I do feel this way?

If you’re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or KhalilCenter.com.
