Providing
medical aid is not only done to save lives, as in emergency
operations and treatment, but also to improve the standard of life
as in providing artificial limbs and physiotherapy to help people
try to stand on their own and provide for themselves and their
families. Costs vary for different treatments, please call to
inquire about specific items you wish to sponsor.
Islamic
teaching emphasises the need of people looking out for each other.
Additional to this responsibility is the rewards that are offered
for doing so.
The
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) has said, "None of you can be
true in your beliefs until you do not wish for your brother what you
wish for yourself." (Scholars agree unanimously that this is not
specific to the biological brother, but Man in general).
(al-Bukhari, Muslim, and at-Tirmidhi)
The way the donor is rewarded
is through giving someone the means of doing good. The Prophet of
Allah (peace be upon him) has said, "The one who shows the way to do
good (thus, even more so, one who provides the means) is as the
performer of it."
(at-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ahmad, and al-Bukhari in al-Adab
al-Mufrad)
