Australian Islamic Centres Launch National Blood Donation Campaign

The Australian Islamic Medical Association (AIMA) sparked a nationwide wave of Muslim blood donors as it launched its annual national blood donation drive on Friday, 28 November 2025, in partnership with the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood.

Hawzah News Agency- Mosques and Islamic centres across Australia mobilised their congregations around Jumah time, turning places of worship into hubs of service, compassion, and life-saving action, Australian Muslim Times reported.

More than 40 mosques participated across every state and territory—from major cities to regional communities including Bathurst, the Central Coast, Townsville, Cairns, Mackay, and Launceston.

At Kuraby Mosque in Queensland, the Imam reminded the congregation in the khutbah of the profound weight of a single act of giving:

“One donation can save up to three lives. Allah says whoever saves a life, it’s as if they saved all of humanity''.

In Sydney, at the Australian Islamic House, a speaker explained how small the physical donation truly is—and how enormous its impact.

AIMA National President and Drive Lead Dr Omer Shareef celebrated the unity and spirit on display across the country.

“It is truly heartening to witness these beautiful moments captured across different parts of Australia especially within our mosques where we are coming together, competing in goodness, serving humanity & saving lives. This is a powerful reflection of unity in action and faith in motion''.

What began in 2019 with just one participating mosque has grown into a nationwide movement that strengthens Australia’s donor pool and highlights the vital contributions of Muslim communities.

The Australian Red Cross Lifeblood has formally recognised AIMA for its impact, thanking the organisation for its contribution during last year’s national shortage.
