Anger and rudeness is a false show of strength by a weak person, while politeness and a cool mind reflects dignity and strength of a strong person.

Suicide and time of death
Regarding suicide! We know that one`s time of death is decreed by the Almighty, when someone commits suicide is his time of death put out for him?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 63 Surah Munafeqoon verse 11: But to no soul will Allah grant respite when the time appointed (for it) has come: and Allah is well-acquainted with (all) that ye do.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraf: To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached not an hour can they cause delay nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 145: Nor can a soul die except by Allah's leave; the term being fixed as by writing.
Islam guides that life does not belong to us, but rather it is given as a trust to each human being. Neither is a human being allowed to take the life of another human without just cause, nor is one permitted in Islam to take one's own life; both would be considered grave sins in the sight of Allah Subhanah.
The time of death for each and every soul is determined and Decreed by Allah Subhanah, and no one can die except with the Precise Permission and Will of the Lord All Mighty. How many a people try to take their own lives, but are not successful; and how many a people try to save their lives, and they are not successful?
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.1 Narrated by Umar bin Al Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) I heard the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions; and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended."
Indeed, the time and place of death of each individual is Decreed by Allah Subhanah! But when a person commits suicide, he will not be held accountable for dieing on a particular day or a particular place, but he will surely be held accountable for intending, and fulfilling his intention to take his own life! If one commits any other sin (shirk, murder, zina, etc.), he has the opportunity to turn back to Allah Subhanah and seek His Forgiveness and Pardon because the door of Taubah is open until the time of one's death; but when one commits suicide and takes his own life, he cannot even seek repentance as the door of Taubah is closed permanently with his death!
Your Question: what I can`t understand is why the Almighty would take him away at a time in their lives when they really need him.
Allah says in the Holy Quran in Chapter 67 Surah Al Mulk verse 2: He (Allah) created death and life that He may test you, to see which of you is the best in deeds.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chaper 21 Surah Anbiya verse 35: Every soul shall have a taste of death: and We test you by evil and by good by way of trial: to Us must ye return.
Dear and Beloved Sister in Islam, Allah Subhanah has bestowed this period of one lifetime upon us as a test, to see what this creation of His, who has been bestowed with intelligence and free will, do when in circumstances of good and situations of evil. Does one who is bestowed with good be grateful to his Lord for His Bounties and Grace, or does he become arrogant and proud; and does the one upon whom evil befalls as a trial from his Lord be patient and keep his full trust in His Lord, or does he become impatient and bitter and resents the Decree of His Lord and Creator!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verses 155-157:
155 Be sure We shall test you with something of fear, and hunger, some loss in goods, or lives, or the fruits (of your toil); but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere.
156 Who say when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong and to Him is our return."
157 They are those on whom (descend) blessings from Allah and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.
Each person's test is determined and Decreed by Allah Subhanah Alone, and none except Him has even an iota of control or influence over His Decrees and Commands. The death of your husband is no more than a trial for you and your children and your near relatives; and what they do during their this severe trial from their Lord will determine their grades of success or failure. Do they show impatience and resent and accuse their Lord of injustice and wrongdoing towards them, or do they show patience, and accept their condition as a trial from their Lord, keeping their full Trust and Belief in His Decree and His Command? Their actions during their trial will determine whether they pass the test Decreed for them from their Lord, or fail it!
One has absolutely no control over what trials befall them, but one definitely has full control over how they accept and react when they are afflicted by a trial from their Lord, and their reaction is precisely what will determine the result of their test. Dear and Beloved Sister in Islam, the believers are guided by Allah and His Messenger (saws) in Islam to accept and display patience and perseverance when they are afflicted by any calamity, and keep their full trust and belief in their Lord Most Merciful to Whom is their ultimate return.
May Allah Subhanah give you and your family the courage and the wisdom to recognize His trials, and guide you and your family to do and say only what is Pleasing to your Lord. May The Lord Most Merciful make your trial easy for you, and provide for you and your family from His Infinite and Unending Bounty and Grace. May the Lord Most Gracious fill your hearts with patience and give you the blessings of perseverance, and reward you with the most generous and gracious rewards in this life and the Hereafter. Ameen.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah's Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Formula for Unlimited Blessings
by Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (rahmatullah alayh)
The Story of Hazrat Halima Sa`diyya (Radiyallahu anha), the foster mother of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) is well-known.
The custom of the Arabs who lived in the towns was to entrust their young children in the care of the Bedouin women, who earned a living by being wet nurses. For the town Arabs, this time afforded their children the healthy environment of the desert; facilitating good health, strength and an opportunity to master the rich, untainted speech of the Bedouins.
Thus, it was the good fortune of Hazrat Halima Sa`diyya (Radiyallahu anha), that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) was destined for her.
In the many books on the Seerah, we read Hazrat Halima's (Radiyallahu anha) personal account of how she, her husband and baby travelled in the company of other women, in search of children to suckle. It was a time of famine and drought and theirs was a state of hunger and want, to the extent that she could not even feed her baby.
On reaching Makkah Mukarramah, none of the women were prepared to accept Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) once they were told that he was an orphan. Their hope was to secure a child whose father would reward them generously.
Whilst the other women were successful in their quest, Hazrat Halima (Radiyallahu anha) was not. Before departing from Makkah Mukarramah, she decided to take the orphaned baby, rather than have none to take home. There was no other choice that she had.
Hazrat Halima (Radiyallahu anha) relates herself, that the moment she lifted him into her arms, she found to her great surprise, that she had sufficient milk to feed him, as well as her own little baby. And she thereafter related the good fortune that came their way whilst taking care of the little Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam): their she-camel was suddenly blessed with plentiful of milk; her lean, slow donkey was suddenly blessed with strength and speed; their barren land was blessed with plentiful of grass for their animals to feed on. And like this, prosperity filled their home due to the presence and blessings of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam).
Reflecting over this, we learn so much: Just the physical body of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) coming into the arms of Hazrat Halima (Radiyallahu anha) as a little baby, caused such blessings to pour into their lives.
Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) was not able to give lengthy speeches in the arms of Hazrat Halima; nor was his character, his dealings, his relationships with people, his honesty and his truthfulness, his charity and his sincerity, his nobility and forgiveness, and other beautiful characteristics apparent at that time when she took the little baby into her arms. At this stage, it was only the physical body of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) as a baby … yet look at the tremendous Barakah.
Blessings in their lives, in their home, in their time and crops, in their animals and their food … Barakah in everything.
If so many blessings came with just lifting and carrying the physical body of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam), then what would we say about the Barakaat and the blessings that a person will see and experience in his own life if he has to bring the teachings of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) in his life?
What kind of blessings will he experience? …And what kind of blessings will the Ummah of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) experience if they have to bring into their lives, the beautiful Sunnah?
We will experience the same Barakaat that Allah Ta'ala gave to Hazrat Halima and thereafter what became even more manifest in the lives of the Companions of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam).
Look at their condition: Most of the Sahaba-e-Kiraam (RA) were extremely poor, undergoing extreme difficulties, tests and trials. But with the implementation of the teachings of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) in their lives, look at the Barakaat that Allah Ta'ala gave to them : The Persian Empire at their feet, the Roman Empire at their feet – something that could not be even imagined at one time but the Prophecies of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) were seen and experienced by them.
Of course they did not just sit and do nothing. They did what they had to do - they fulfilled their part of the contract. They made their Salaah, they gave their Zakaah, they kept their fasts, they performed Hajj if it was Fardh, they were kind, they were charitable, they were honest, they were truthful; each one brought the beautiful, noble character of Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) in his or her life. …They went forth in Jihad with Nabi (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) and after his demise also, they spread the message of Islam and the teachings of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) in the world – and then look at the Barakaat that came pouring into their lives… "Barakaat minnas sa'maa'i wal ardh"(Blessings from the heavens and the earth).
Thus, if someone looks at that incident of Hazrat Halima Sa`diyya (Radiyallahu anha), and the blessings of just taking Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam) into her arms as a baby, then we draw the lesson : Barakaat is sure to follow, in abundance, if we only bring into our lives the beautiful Sunnah of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi waSallam). So simple.
Let those who wish to enjoy blessings, bring alive the Sunnah.
