How to donate organs in an Islamic way ?

Donating organs is indeed a noble act. But there are certain things to keep in mind as a Muslim.

Firstly ....

A dead person (muslim) can doante organs to a living person on the condition that permission is given either by the person before his death or by his heirs, or by the leader of the Muslims in cases where the dead person’s identity is unknown or he has no heirs. Upon this condition he or she can doante organs wit no buying or selling. Yes.... NO MONEY involved.

But can the beneficiary spend money to show his appreciation is still under scholary debate.

Secondly...

The donar must be mature to understand what is being done. If we talk about donating organs while the donar is alive, it is haraam to take an organ on which life depends, such as a heart.

Thirdly...

The well being of the beneficiary and the donar must be assured.


Alone

LONESOME HEART


Every time I sit alone, alone with my
feelings unspoken,
I wish I had, just one person who could
mend my heart that is broken,
I wish he would wipe my tears away,
And would take me in his arms and
say ‘it is okay’.
Who will hear to how I feel
And think of ways to heal.
Who will say a joke to make me smile,
Or would try something else worthwhile.
Who will put me to bed and
stay by my side,
To see if I again cried.
Who will take my hand in his
to show his love with a kiss.
Who will look into my eyes
to wash away my sighs.
Who will speak something
to make me strong,
May be a promise to stay
when something goes wrong.
Who will move his hands over my hair,
To mesmerize me with his care
Who will whisper a word of love close to me,
To end my day the way I wanted to be.
Who will cover me with a blanket
And put me to sleep,
Who will pray that I never
Again have worries to keep.
