Muslim Man Picks Humanity Over Religion & Breaks His Ramzan Fast To Save A Hindu's Life

We all are active on social media platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook, and more often than not, we come across posts and messages related to blood donation. But how many of us actually respond to it or pay any heed to it? Sadly, the number isn't something to be proud of because most of us tend to ignore these messages. However, there are a few people who go out of their way to help save someone's life. Arif Khan is one such man who chose humanity over religion and broke his Ramzan fast to save a Hindu's life. Arif came across a request for urgent blood donation on social media and WhatsApp, for 20-year-old Ajay Bijlawan. Ajay was hospitalized in Dehradun's Max Hospital and was in a serious condition, where his blood platelets were rapidly falling. Twitter Reportedly, Ajay urgently needed A+ blood and the doctors told his father that if the donor isn't found, his life will be in danger. After certain failed efforts, Ajay's father started asking for help from his family and friends. After Arif came across the heartfelt post on WhatsApp, he immediately contacted the family members and became Ajay's silver lining in the dark clouds. When Arif Khan who the President of National Association for Parents and Students Rights (NAPSR), reached the hospital, he was asked to first eat something and then donate blood. This meant that he will have to break his Ramzan fast before the Iftar time. In order to save Ajay's life, Arif agreed to break his fast and made the blood donation. Twitter “If somebody's life could be saved by breaking my roza (fast), then I will put humanity first, rozas (fasts) can be kept later, and human life is precious.” These were the words of Arif Khan, after he donated his blood and helped save Ajay's life. He further said, “Helping the needy is essential teachings of Ramzan, I believe if we keep fast and do not help the needy then Allah won't be happy, it is my honour that I could help someone.” Twitter In an age, when people are lynched or attacked in the name of religion, people like Arif prove that one's religion can never be greater or bigger than a person's life. Doing what Arif did takes a lot of courage and we are proud of him. Arif deserves all the respect in the world.
