Al-Braikan's family said that their late son was a devoted practicing Muslim
and he would never commit suicide. I understand them totally ,the loss was huge for sure and the fact his death was considered a suicide will add to this loss more ,it will add to it shame and disgrace.Committing suicide in Islam is prohibited in Islam and is considered a huge sin where the one who commits it is considered as an infidel. The Kuwaiti society regardless of its openness on the world is still a tribal Islamic society in end.
There are rumors in Kuwait that he was killed.
When I read the news of that financier ,it was the first time I read his name despite I feel that Al-Braikan is not a strange name. I read the news mainly at the American websites.
Already that the businessman who is linked to Citigroup was charged in the United States with fraud.
I was amazed to know that a Kuwaiti has committed Suicide simply as I hinted before suicide is prohibited in Islam and even not so devoted Muslims understand this very well plus we do not have that sort Japanese responsibility culture thing in our part of the world ; not to mention most of that kind of high profile suicide case in our part of the world are murders in fact like Abdel Hakim suicide and Ghazi Kanaan. It will not be a surprise if Al-Braikan's suicide turned in to a murder , Al-Braikan was messing with giants in the States and I am sure that he may have spelled the beans on couple of other partners here or there.
Yet I believe he could have committed suicide for real because he felt ashamed of himself and brought disgrace to his family , may be it is the Japanese responsibility syndrome after all
Al-Braikan headed an investment company called Al-Raya investment company

Why, my dear Zeinobia, can't you believe that a Muslim won't committ suicide?
ReplyDeleteDo you think you completely understand the reasons that lead someone to suicide?
Do you think that muslims are immune from these reasons?
I suggest that you reconsider your knowledge about mental/psychological health issues because it is far beyond religion!
Suicide is considered a grave sin in all of the 3 heavenly religions not just in Islam.
ReplyDeleteRead the readers comments on Al Arabyia, some of his friends and family acquaintances posted there. They guy was praying Al Aisha prayer in the Masjed, as he always did, right before he is presumed to have taken his life. They also mentioned that his company actually turned high profits this year. And that there was another shot or injury in his hand that doesnt make sense since he is presumed to have used a guy put to his skull.
