Folks, i know a friend of my brother. He had been suffering from a liver disease. Because of that, water gets accumulated in the body and patient keeps gaining weight. When it gets worst, chances are sure death. That guy had applied for organ (that are donated by people after their death), but due to some reasons he could not get one. And his health was deteriorating day by day.
He has two young kids (rather infants). At this time, he needed help from family and friends to donate part of their liver to him. And it was his sister-in-law who decided to donate part of her liver. She is young prob. 28 yrs and unmarried. It is known that the success record of liver-transplant is much less than that of heart and lung transplant. But Allah (swt) blessed both of them, and the operation was successful. Today, i was told both are doing well, Alhamdulillah. I salute the sacrifice of that girl. May Allah accept her sacrifice, and bless both of them a healthy and cheerful life, aamin.
Do any of you guys plan to donate organ after death? Is there any religious objection if a person donate organ(s) after death? And would you dare to do what that girl did?
Couple of more questions … As Islam says, on day of judgement our organs will give shahadah on us. Then in case of transplanted heart, would it give shahadah on two people ? It’d be interesting to know that it would keep record of two different people.
From medical point of view … a heart taken from one person, would it have same feelings when it is moved to the body of other person. I mean whether a heart of a muslim would act similarly in the body of a non-muslim (if transplanted) and vice versa, OR it would just work as a neutral organ?

my mom had a heart transplant...and after like 3 /4 months she is doing fine.. cant say perfect..but better than the condition which was 3/4 months before.. and ya.. heart does not have any feelings..... the function of a heart is just to pump.. brain is the one who has control over ur body and vice versa.. so its safe to say where ever u take the heart from ( i.e hindu,christian etc ) it would not have any impact over ur feelings and ur religious beliefs.
**If you check with Medical experts, Brain controls the rest of the body but not the Heart. Heart is autonomous, it is programmed to pump. and there are no nerves connecting the Heart to the brain, if there were transplants would not work because of cutting of the nerves.... **

If your friend is still alive ask him to try "Milk Thistle" it helps the Liver.
***Right you are, just saying that the brain controls all except the heart in our bodies, and I think the Heart controls our “Mind” if you know what I mean…:halo: ***

From what I've read on various Islamic websites, it is fine to donate your organs after death. You cannot sell them by any means, but donation is okay, with the preference that they go to a Muslim first. I think I would like to donate my organs after I die. They're just going to disintegrate anyways, might as well someone gets some usage out of them.
I'll tell him inshallah. But it's a plant according to Wikipedia. It is to eat or something else? What to do with it?
Thanks for the reply. And i'm also learning about that and inshallah 'll decide on donating if there's no religious problem. BTW, i was expecting that Islam would not prohibit it .... good to know that it doesn't :)
But i've always heard all feelings are associated with heart; sad, happy, love, hatred etc. etc. And as a matter of fact, most religious sources will speak about heart. Like u'd always hear from moulvis/religious people saying "heart of a momin feels good in mosque", "Prophet (s.a.w) worked on the hearts of sahabah .....". So you mean all that is baseless?
ok so what ur saying is brain control everything except our hearts.. but heart on the other hand control our brain… ?..
if thats what u mean, then i think ure wrong cuz everytime we hear a very bad news or even sometimes when we get really scared or if we’re confused …our heart starts pumping really fast…now the heart is taking information from the brain …isnt it?? :halo:

But I still havent checked the Islamic point of view.
