The holy month of Ramzan is going on, while Muslims observe Roza till the end of the month to follow the festival religiously, this man decided to choose humanity over religion and his act of kindness has surely proved that humanity comes first always.
Panaullah Ahmed, a Muslim man from Mangaldoi in Assam had been observing the fast from sunrise to sunset every day since Tuesday. But when he received a call last week, he chooses humanity over religion and broke his fast.
The man’s roommate and colleague, Tapash Bhagawati received a call on May 8 about a patient who was in urgent need of blood. To help him, Ahmed broke his Ramazan fast and consumed food in order to donate blood to Ranjan Gogoi from Assam’s Dhemaji district.
Ranjan had undergone surgery for the removal of a tumor at the Apollo Hospital in Guwahati. His family was finding a donor for him but nobody was available. Post that, Ahmed decided to help.
Also, Ahmed and Tapash were members of a popular Facebook page Team Humanity-Blood Donors & Social Activists in India. They work at Swagat Super Speciality Surgical Hospital in Guwahati and donates blood regularly.
Before donating the blood, Ahmed consulted people from his community to inquire if he can donate while fasting. But he was told that while he can donate, it might make him ill. After that, he decided to break his fast.
The popular Facebook page shared the story and smiling picture of both the friends. They also urged fit people to donate blood regularly.
The world surely needs more people like Ahmed!
