Yusuf

Yusuf shares his choice to become an organ donor.

Becoming an organ donor was an important decision for me. I wasn’t sure about organ donation to start with. I thought very carefully about whether organ donation is consistent with my beliefs. Initially I was uncertain about whether organ donation was compatible with my faith. But for me now, I believe that saving lives is a core principle in Islam, and that organ donation aligns with this. I feel very strongly that I want to help others, particularly because there is a shortage of organ for people in my community. I want my family to understand the significance of my decision. I would be upset if they did not support this decision – I see it as their role to do so.
