abstract="OBJECTIVE: To describe the case of a young Muslim male who completed suicide and discuss the implications in terms of his religion. <br><br>METHOD: Case report. <br><br>RESULTS: The patient's suicide occurred on the background of parental expectations regarding his career, criticism of his interests and lifestyle, and the development of a depressive illness. The aftermath was characterised by the family being rejected by their community because of the stigma associated with suicide in the religion. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: It is a myth that suicide is rare among Muslims. Muslim communities need to be re-educated about suicide phenomena through their leaders at home and abroad.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
