There are the most profound and terrible errors here.

A Muslim can never kill. This is a sin. God reveals in the Qur'an
that "… if someone kills another person – unless it is in retaliation
for someone else or for causing corruption in the earth – it is as if he
had murdered all mankind." (Qur'an, 5:32)

The verse is explicit. Just like it is a sin and murder to kill some-
one else, it is also a sin and murder to kill oneself. It is not "jihad," but

KILLING ONESELF (COMMITTING SUICIDE)

IS NOT "JIHAD". IT IS FORBIDDEN IN
THE QUR'AN AND A GREAT SIN.

Some people, who are misinformed
about Islam, wrongly believe that it
allows suicide bombings, when in
fact it is a religion of peace and love.
Killing oneself, or suicide, is a sin in
the eyes of the Qur'an.
