He was known for his revolutionary rhetoric but later stirred significant controversy due to his extreme views on religion. He publicly declared his atheism and even went as far as claiming prophethood, drawing harsh criticism from various segments of Moroccan society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1107\">Benjebli later emigrated to the United States, settling in the state of Massachusetts, where his health began to deteriorate. Sources close to him confirmed that he suffered from a serious mental health condition known as bipolar disorder, which causes severe mood swings between depressive and manic episodes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"ar\">\ud83d\udd34\u0627\u0644\u0646\u0627\u0634\u0637 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u063a\u0631\u0628\u064a \u0633\u0639\u064a\u062f \u0628\u0646\u062c\u0628\u0644\u064a \u064a\u0646\u0647\u064a \u062d\u064a\u0627\u062a\u0647 \u0628\u0639\u062f \u0623\u0632\u0645\u0629 \u0635\u062d\u064a\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u0623\u0639\u0642\u0627\u0628 \u062d\u064a\u0627\u0629 \u0645\u0644\u064a\u0626\u0629 \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062c\u062f\u0644 \u0644\u0627 \u0633\u064a\u0645\u0627 \u0625\u0644\u062d\u0627\u062f\u0647 \u0648\u0627\u062f\u0639\u0627\u0621\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0628\u0648\u0629..<\/p>\n<p>\u0625\u0644\u064a\u0643 \u062a\u0641\u0627\u0635\u064a\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0627\u0642\u0639\u0629 \u0648\u0633\u0628\u0628 \u0648\u0635\u064a\u062a\u0647 \u0628\u0625\u062d\u0631\u0627\u0642 \u062c\u062b\u062a\u0647\ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0lXH5QFXsE\">pic.twitter.com\/0lXH5QFXsE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \u0648\u0637\u0646. \u064a\u063a\u0631\u062f \u062e\u0627\u0631\u062c \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0631\u0628 (@watanserb_news) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/watanserb_news\/status\/1908128643752112536?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"95\" data-end=\"188\"><strong data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"188\">Cremation Request Fuels Debate Over Faith, Mental Health, and Identity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1492\">Before his suicide, Saeed posted a lengthy message on his social media accounts, expressing a deep sense of helplessness and meaninglessness in life, stating that \u201cdeath has become the only option.\u201d In his message, he requested that his body be cremated, as he had not left behind enough money for his family to cover funeral expenses or the cost of repatriating his body to Morocco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1923\">What added to the controversy was that some Moroccan activists questioned the legal and ethical implications of cremation, particularly since Benjebli had previously been known for mocking Islam and expressing doubt about the Qur&#8217;an.
