Yes: One of the finest transplantation programs in the world is in Alexandria, Egypt. There are opinions given by Muslim religious scholars that to give one's organs is greatly pleasing to God, and this squares with the other world faiths to which Islam is allied. Common goodness recognizes the wonderful opportunity that a donate organ has to save life, which is a great virtue in mainstream Islam.
