What is the ruling on wishing for death and despairing of life due to feelings of loneliness, boredom, lack of will, introversion, and family restrictions, accompanied by suicidal thoughts? And do these symptoms indicate that one may be afflicted with autism?
One should not be fretful or discontent; rather, one must thank Allah for His blessings and well-being, and reflect on those who are deprived of some of them. One must beware of despair, have a good opinion of Allah, and foster optimism that stems from trust and reliance on Him. There is no rest for the heart except in obedience to Allah, for the heart needs to turn to Allah, find solace in Him, rejoice in His knowledge, be content with His decree, love Him, turn to Him in repentance, and remember Him constantly. One should turn to Allah with repentance and supplication, strive for righteous companionship, listen to admonitions, and engage in abundant remembrance, while diligently striving to achieve the causes of inner peace.
