Respect.

Takes courage to make such a decision at such a young age.

Might be my ignorance here but how would giving up a kidney stop him becoming a professional cricketer?

May Allah bless him. Aameen.

Its seriously compromises a persons body efficiency. May not affect normal life but to be a top level cricketer every part of your body needs to be functioning perfectly.

Also , you are not supposed to exert your body for a long period after a kidney is removed, for the body to acclimatize . That practically takes away his best developing years as a cricketer.
.. Don't know the medical specifics.

Very few sacrifice can top this.

Its magnitude is staggering.

Respect bro.

This world is a temporary abode for us. What Majid has done will bring him rewards in the next - May ALLAH bless him with a great life in this world and hereafter, Ameen

this reminds me of a bollywood movie starring Anil Kapoor who was a promising soccer player but sold his kidney for sister's marriage; forgot the name of the movie

We should start a gofundme or something to help him out.

 

[zyrus]

Wish someone could help him with having it back (obviously getting another for brother)

 

[Bewal Express]

I would like it if Pakpassion setup a fund for the lad to which we could contribute.

The alternative would have been to let his brother suffer. Most people couldn't live with that so he listened to the voice of his conscience.
