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.
