Ma’an - Date: 20 / 06 / 2008 Time: 11:19
Bethlehem - The family of an 18-year-old Palestinian civilian, who died after
being shot by Israeli security guards a few weeks ago, have donated his organs
to save the lives of six Israelis.
Patient "A" was clinically dead when he was transferred to the intensive care
unit in Shiba medical center in Tel Hashomeir. But doctors were unable to
resuscitate him.
The Hebrew daily newspaper Ma’ariv reported that his family decided to donate
his organs to those who needed them, regardless of their race, religion or
identity.
The National Center for Organ Transplants promised to keep information
concerning his identity confidential for the safety of his family who live in
the Palestinian Authority area. The families of the recipients were told about
the identity of the donor but have also agreed to keep the information
confidential, according to the newspaper.
On Wednesday evening the Patient "A"'s father had an emotional meeting with the
patient who received his son’s heart.
Patient "A"'s father described his son as "a great person who was loved by
everyone. He was big-hearted and I didn’t hesitate to donate his organs to
needy patients, even though he was killed by Israeli security guards.”
“At first it was hard for me, but God inspired me to take the right decision to
help the patients by donating my son’s organs. I’m happy with this decision and
I don’t differentiate between Jews and Arabs. All I care about is saving
people's lives. That’s why I didn’t ask about the patients' identities,” he
added.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
