Young Muslims from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) have been donating blood in their droves this week.
The nationwide campaign aims to raise at least 500 units of blood which can save 1500 lives. It started on 1 July and ends today, 7 July.
AMYA's 5000 members have been encouraged to sign up to NHS Give Blood.
The Bradford Ahmadiyya Youth Association, based at Al-Mahdi Mosque, has locally been contributing to raising the 500 units.
Organiser Sultan Khan said: “Islam teaches that to take one life is akin to killing all mankind and to save one life is like saving all of humanity. So we hope that by donating blood, we'll not only be serving our country but also our faith because Islam is about giving blood, not taking it. A terrorist may kill a few people but we are here to give life to hundreds.”
