Importance of Blood Donation In Islam

Why is Blood Important?

Blood is the most vital component of human life. It is an unnatural bodily fluid that transports vital nutrients and oxygen to the cells. You must be in good general health to give blood or platelets. Blood is a transport liquid that is pumped to all areas of the body by the heart then returned to the heart to continue the process.

Blood also helps the body fight diseases and transports hormones. Carbon dioxide and other waste products are carried by the blood to the lungs, kidneys, and digestive system, where they are expelled from the body.

If a person is on the verge of death and the only thing that might save him is blood donation, we must think it is a kind deed. Helping a Muslim brother will make Allah happy, which is all that matters.

There may or may not be a passage in the Quran on blood donation, but we must believe that saving another Muslim brother's life would elevate our standing in Allah's and His Prophet's sight. This is what our prophet has instilled in us throughout his life. " Muslims are brothers who never do wrong to one another, never fail to support one another, and never abandon their brethren in times of adversity.
