Is It Wrong to Ask Allah to Take My Life?

Assalamu alaikum, my life has always been a struggle, and lately I’ve lost all drive to keep going. With big exams around the corner, it’s just too much. I used to hold onto hope that things would improve, but now that hope is slipping away, and honestly I’m beyond caring-even if life got better, I just don’t want to be here anymore. I’m exhausted from everything. I’ve begged Allah many times to end my life, but I wonder if that’s haram? Every day feels like torment, I’m too anxious to even leave the house, no friends, nothing. The only way out seems to be death. JazakAllahu khairan to anyone who replies, may Allah ease all our suffering.

Man, I've been there. Exams and anxiety can crush you. But please talk to someone, a sheikh or a therapist. Islam encourages seeking help. You're in my duas.

Brother, I feel you. Life can be heavy, but remember, Allah doesn't burden a soul beyond what it can bear. Don't lose hope in His mercy. Keep making dua, but for strength, not death. You're not alone.

Bro you're not alone in this struggle. Anxious to leave the house, no friends-same here. But we gotta hold on. Small steps, make wudu, pray, read some Quran. It helps, I swear.

Asking for death is not the way. The Prophet (PBUH) said none should wish for death due to hardship. Instead, say 'Oh Allah, keep me alive as long as life is good for me, and cause me to die when death is good for me.' Stay strong.
