A Little Gift Of Life

We all study, earn, learn and live to have best future, what can be more precious than our life for us? We live and plan as if we have to live here for centuries and we seldom forget that we are here for just few decades and somehow we all will die and fade away from pages of history and memories of our loved ones.

But there is something which can last longer than us; it’s our love for fellow humans. Yes we can become part of someone’s body, someone’s life and someone’s existence even after when our existence will fade away. You can beat in someone’s chest as a heart, you can bring colours in someone’s life as eyes, and you can become someone’s strength as bone. Yes a single human can support eight lives after death; organ transplantation has made it possible to donate your body organs to be used after ones death.

Organ transplantation has taken an official shape in Pakistan after when President Zardari signed a law banning organ trafficking and smuggling. This law prevents citizens of Pakistan from selling their organs instead this supports citizens to donate their body organs which can be transplanted into deserving patients after then donor’s death.

Each human body can donate a heart, a pair of kidneys, a pair of corneas, pancreas, and liver part of intestines, bones and skin. In Pakistan SIUT has played a major role in kidney transplantation and their doctors are still working to change the mindset of Pakistani society for which organ transplantation is a taboo and controversial issue.

God has mentioned in Quran “And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.” This proves the significance of human life in Islam, and emphasize over struggle to save it. Now it’s our turn to save lives after our life.
