Blood Donation and Religious Affiliation: Ramadan Experience

All religions place a great value for preserving of human life and helping others against hardship. In Bible God says: Greater love has no one than this, which someone laid down his life for his friends. Saving a life is of paramount value in Islam as the following verse from the Quran illustrates And if anyone sustains life, it would be as if he sustained the life of all mankind. On the other hand, in many psychological studies, it is proved that religion affiliation has a vital effect on pro-social and altruistic behaviors. People who are more committed to religious bonds contribute more actively in charitable practices.
