Question

I dont wan't death. I want to be no more. I yearn to be nothing. I wish I wasn't created. I want to be uncreated. Is it possible for God to uncreate a person?

Answer

Jazakallah for writing to the institute.

Kindly write to me and provide me with a more detailed account of the what, why and how you have arrived at this state of mind and desire. I am somewhat baffled and would most certainly appreciate it if you could share your thoughts with me. I hope to hear from you soon. May Allah Ta'ala be with you and may He protect your imaan. Ameen.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
