When you have watched an awesome movie, you'll feel the vibes, thrusting right into your senses and its so moving that it rendered a change of views about things.
That is exactly how I felt after watching Seven Pounds, I must say, a brilliant movie.
I always say that Denzel is my favourite actor, but I could'nt say a thing less about Will as well, he stands in the same breath and level as Denzel.
We'll of course, having said it's a brilliant movie, suicide isn't the only way out, there's always another way out, there's always another plan.
But whilst what he did in the movie was noble, it was in the wrong way.
Which brings me, to say in Islam, organ transplantation is deemed permissible, a person could give away his/her organ IF it doesn't bring any sort of harm to the donor's body.
Islam also teaches a donor to be humble and donate his/her organs willingly and solemnly to the cause of Allah S.W.T and to a cause of 100% helping the receipient, and not to gain popularity,money and such.
By which India is famous for it's kidney and liver business, its a saddening episode that sees the people of the lower hierarchy having to sell their own organs to condone and support themselves and their families. A system that has been built by man that intends to destroy the hardcore poor and rid them slowly, ok I'm going off bounds,sorry.
Back to the issue, another pressing argument which led to a hiatus of confusion amongst the Malaysian community is that the harsh reports that muslims couldn't give away their organs to non-muslims.
Which was clearly explained by Dr.Asri, a prominent Islamic figure in Malaysia who was also the Ex-Mufti of Perlis.
He stated the perception that there will be no reward and donating organs to non-muslims is an act of no avail is wrongly perceived.
Adding to that, is world renowned Islamic Scholar, Dr.Yusuf Qaradhawi who stated that "the act of donating organs are like the act of giving away charity, which is done to both Muslims and non-Muslims"
Which brings me to this question, if you were to die,God forbid, nauz'ubillah,just a matter of opinion, would you give away your organs? For donation?...For a better purpose?....What would you do??? Go!!!
