Quoting from the Holy Quran, Dr.Rizvi said anyone who saves the life of a person saves all humanity. Even many fatwa are issued in support of organ donation. Dr Rizvi cited the example of renowned philanthropist Maulana Abdus Sattar Edhi, who donated both his eyes after death He further, Pakistan has a high rate of patients dying due to organ failure every month thus it is high time that more people should pledge for organ donation to serve humanity.
