💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

📝 Five probable reasons why a lot of celebrities took their own lives despite their affluence, luxurious lifestyles, artificial smiles, privilege to travel often, and popularity (Note: suicide is a major sin in Islam):
1] They didn't have sufficient understanding of their true goals and purpose in life. Not knowing the real reason of one's existence (to worship our Only God and Creator Allah the Almighty until we meet Him Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) can cause some to consider suicide if they try to survive every night and day doing the same mundane tasks without significant meaning.
2] Inability to tolerate or withstand the feeling of "emptiness", as though they're lacking something important for them to feel genuinely at peace from within. The more distant a servant is from his/her Master Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, the more their heart or soul gets distressed due to failing to fulfill their actual responsibilities.
3] Feeling disappointed, unappreciated or devalued when they don't receive recognition or special treatment as they were so accustomed to the limelight and their fans' admiration, or doubting their self-worth the moment they're criticized or feel left out in a group and social events. It is impossible to attain contentment when an individual is constantly desperate for the approval of fellow servants instead of striving to please Only Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala Who always knows best what is beneficial for His slaves.
4] Instead of being granted freedom to do what they want, most of the time they felt like oppressed puppets or downtrodden slaves to their bosses, employers, publicists, parents or "supporters" etc. and they really struggled while trying to satisfy everybody's demands. There's no point in tirelessly entertaining others if you yourself aren't happy from inside.
5] Feeling defeated when rivals or other famous people surpass them in any way. As long as a person is extremely insecure, selfish, and overcome by intense jealousy, and they're in a persistent competition with most of the humans whom Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'alaa decrees that they meet, they are far from enjoying serenity.
✅ To avoid suicidal thoughts which are typically suggested by our enemy shaytan:
1) Recall why Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala created us and focus on accomplishing that main noble mission.
2) Strive to maintain strong connection with Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala by continuously seeking authentic knowledge of Islam, saying Dhikr and Du'a regularly, appreciating Allah's numerous blessings upon you, and increasing your good deeds done sincerely for Allah's sake.
3) Understand that all human beings are flawed and they've got their own share of problems to solve. Don't expect everyone on earth to shower you with gifts, compliments, cheerful vibes, greetings and invitations 24/7.
4) Be tough enough for Allah's sake to say no and decline certain requests when necessary. Never do something which goes against your self-respect and 'Aqeedah belief.
5) Research and learn more about Allah's Prophets including His noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam and realize that righteousness doesn't mean your life will be absolutely devoid of challenges but the closer you get to Allah the Most Wise, the more He Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala sends different trials oftentimes to expiate past sins and/or elevate your status in Jannah Paradise whose inhabitants will no longer suffer nor be tested with shaytan's evil insinuations.
