Re: .....Organ Donation??What are your THOUGHTS?
According to Islam: saving one life means saving humanity.
Transplantation has a history of a few decades while people saved lives even before that.
I absolutely believe that Islam does not restrict us from sharing our bodies to save lives under the right circumstances.
But at the same time, it is very funny to see that people usually dont realize the fact that there is no accounting for what you do after your death but for what you did during your life.
I am not against organ donation but I am in favor of doing something better, something more noble. To me, organ donation after death is a secondary thing and is comparatively much easier than donating your lifetime to a right cause.
You say sharing is good. I ask how many of you share your possessions when you must?
How many of the noble organ donors here on this forum are supporting children who polish boots to pay their school fee?
How many of you feed poor orphans from their earnings?
How many times have you bought someone medicine?
Have you ever been to a hospital with flowers for patients who you dont know?
How many times have you strove to bring justice to someone?
THAT is sharing, THAT is noble.
It is sad to know that we are too busy in doing for ourselves at this time and hope to share our eyes (eyes that could not actually see when we had them) at the last moment when they will be of no further use for us, with hopes to make a difference.
