Suicide is considered a sin from an Islamic perspective.  Moreover, Pakistan is one of the low and middle-income countries with a 22-crore population and from them 50% percent population of Pakistan is 25 years of age people. According to a report in Pakistan, 5800 people committed suicide in 2006.

            Due to poverty, anxiety, unemployment, domestic violence, depression and the majority of them feel isolated from their family members and society. According to Emile Durkheim, suicide is not an individual act it is a social act.

            Because people commit suicide due to social forces. Such as if inflation rates increase# or decrease then people do suicide. According to Emile Durkheim, suicide is the permanent solution to a temporary problem. According to a report in Pakistan, 331 students committed suicide in their lives. Because of failure in exams while their parents scolded them.

            From these student’s majority of them were medical students.  In Pakistan, most people committed suicide when they are less than 30 years of age. The family members should talk with those people who are victims of depression and feel isolated from their family members and society.
