N2  - Suicide among Muslims and in Muslim countries is rare (Hocaoglu et al, 2007). Although much of the research has comprised simple descriptive studies, and despite the possible underreporting of suicidal behaviour in countries where such behaviour is illegal, suicide rates do appear to be lower among Muslims than among the followers of other religions, even in countries which have populations belonging to several religious groups (Lester, 2006). However, rates of attempted suicide do not appear to be lower in Muslims than in non-Muslims (Pritchard & Amanullah, 2007), possibly because although there are strong religious sanctions against suicide, there are no clear principles regarding attempted suicide.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
