Imagine that your ship has started to sink in the middle of the ocean, eleven people have jumped

into a
life-boat that only fits ten people, and the life-boat is also starting to sink, what should the passengers
do? Throw one person overboard and save ten lives? Or stick to the principles of "do not kill" which
means that everybody will drown?

If I were in that adverse and desperate situation whereby in a despairing, frightening, and stygian vast
ocean and the only way for us to survive is that one person must be sacrifice or stick to the principle of
"do not kill" my adamant and genuine answer is to sacrifice one person as it is one of the best choice for
the survival of many and that sacrificial person is me because as a Muslim and a strong believer I uphold
and applied the teaching and principles of Islam which is "Saving one life saves the entire human race"
although my actions where somewhat like suicide but no, I choose to do what is right and with the
purpose of saving lives therefore my actions where no different from Jehad a Mumin(Faithful follower)
who fight and risk life protecting the country, people and religion that's exactly what I have done,
which I have derelict my safety, and unselfishly gave my life for the sake of other people.

Furthermore, another reason for sacrificing my life and not the other passengers it is because I as well
steadfastly stick and follows the command of Almighty Allah since according to our holy book (Quran)
"Whoever kills one person killed the entire human race" therefore I have never thought of killing
innocent human being only for my selfish intentions and self interest I would rather give my life than the
life of innocent people.

Nevertheless, I will let the Almighty Allah judge my actions and I will definitely and sincerely sacrifice my
life if that's what's it takes to save other people's life.
