Blood Donation During Ashura Mourning in Nigeria



By Ibrahim Usman
Members of the Islaic Movement in Nigeria under the guidance of Sheikh Zakzaky (H) are donating blood during Ashura mourning session across major cities, in obedience to the call of the Leader to do so as an act of humanitarian service.
 In Kano, Kaduna and other major cities, members in large number queu before tents of the National Blood Transfusion Unit to offer themseleves for clinical for subsequent blood donation.
A member interviewed said, he had been donating blood for years with the encouragement from Sheikh Zakzaky (H), whom he said had described blood donation as a life saving act. "Encouragement by Malam has increased the zeal and enthusiasm of brothers and sisters to donate blood to save lives of those in critical condition", he added.
It could be recalled that, the National Blood Transfusion Unit had presented Sheikh Zakzaky (H) with a prestigious award for encouraging blood donation in religious circle.
 Sheikh Zakzaky (H) had also given officials of the National Blood Transfusion Unit a no objection to receive blood donation at every pprogramme of the Islamic Movement from willing members.
 Since then the love for blood donation among members of the Islaic Movement has increased, especially in the month of Muharram, in which the blood of Imam Hussain (AS), his children and companion, was spilled in the plain of Karbala 61 after Hijrah. Members view blood donation at this sacred period as sacrifice to the blood of Imam Hussain spilled on the 10th of Muharram.
