[Via Radianceweekly.in] HUMAN ORGAN DONATION The Islamic Perspective: Allah says in the Qur’ān, “…And if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind (the people)…” (Qur’ān 5:32). The verse motivates people to save the life of people and one could do it by making use of the resources which Allah the Exalted has given him. Many scholars also permit organ donation on the basis of this ayat. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be to him) said, “Whoever relieves a believer of some of the distress of this world, Allah will relieve him of some of the distress of the Day of Resurrection. [...] According to a research, every 27 minutes someone in the world receives an organ transplant, but nonetheless every 2 hours 24 minutes someone dies waiting for an organ to become available. Hundreds of thousands more are on waiting lists around the world. Every year millions of people die of various causes, but only about two per cent of these people are potential organ donors. Of these potential donors, less than 30 per cent will have any of their organs or tissues donated. Those who do will save an average of five lives and improve the quality of life of up to 50 more people. In this current situation, the doctors instead of replacing the organs should strive for making artificial organs and should also motivate other organisations to indulge in research on similar lines or indulge in research to use the organs of animals as replacement for human organs. This will be the real service to humanity. A service of this kind would be the best form of service to the entire mankind. - See more at: radianceweekly.in/portal/issue/human-dignity-and-islam/article/human-organ-donation-the-islamic-perspective/#sthash.9IvDn5ID.dpuf
