A Muslim pilgrim in Mecca committed suicide by hanging himself in a bathroom of the holy site of Mina. He did so in “hope of entering paradise.”
The man was from Bangadesh and reportedly 50-years-old. He was found hanging in the bathroom around 5 a.m. on Tuesday, September 22.
According to witnesses, the man had earlier said that “death while dressed as a pilgrim [ihram clothing] in such a sacred site guarantees one instant paradise.”
Friends of the suicide told authorities that he did not suffer any psychological issues or depression that might have caused him to commit suicide. Instead, “he was very happy to have reached the sacred lands” of Mecca.

I wonder if Allah approves of this kind of suicide or if he only approves of suicides when they kill themselves in a explosive vest and take countless others with them…Either way I will guarantee you he is not in paradise. It’s awfully hot where he is and there are no rivers of wine, 72 virgins or boys in the likeness of pearls.

It is very warm where they are going though, at least they don’t have to worry about feeling cold. Maybe that is their idea of paradise though. After all, they do live in desert conditions with extremely hot temperatures. Many people have said for a long time that they worship the god whose heaven is located in a downward direction.

And the great whorehouse in the sky doesn’t exist.

The people who taught this man their false religion will also stand before G-d.
