Allah Almighty says:
"O you who believe, do not consume your property among yourselves in a void manner unless it is by mutual agreement. And do not kill yourselves (mutually). Surely Allah is Merciful to you. And whoever does so in hostility and unjustly, We shall expose him to a Fire. And this is easy for Allah. If ye shun the grievous (things) which are forbidden to you, We wipe out your evil deeds and grant you entrance to Paradise in an honorable way."
Sura An-Nisa verse 29-31
"Those who invoke no other god besides Allah, do not kill a person Allah has forbidden."
Sura Al-Furqan verse 68

"Among those who lived before you, there was a man who was wounded. He could not bear the pain and took a knife and cut off his hand. Because of the loss of blood, he died. Allah Almighty said:
"My servant has forestalled Me by taking his own life, and for that I have forbidden him Paradise!"
