Alhamdulillah, more than 100 Braille Quran sets have now reached visually impaired readers across Pakistan through the collaboration between Al Fitrah Foundation and the Blind Resource Foundation Pakistan (BRFP).

Over the past months, the Braille Qurans have been distributed to individuals, students, schools, institutions, and communities across the country. We are grateful to Maulana Waqar and his team for helping bring these Qurans to those who need them.

Here is Yasin, a 16 year old orphan, you can hear how beautifully he reads surah Yasin in the video using a braille book we gifted him. Click here.

Ustaz Askar told me In Ramadan Yasin completed recitation of the whole Quran in his late father’s memory.

Yasin is on the Paralympic team, as the Kazakh champion for wrestling.

I started AlFitrah Foundation in 2014 because I wanted the blind to have access to the Quran and islamic books like I did. We have now distributed over 5,000 braille books around the world Alhamdulillah.

I went to Almaty bringing some books for the students at the 5th summer braille Quran program at Nur Mubarak Islamic University by Ustaz Askar Sakhirov. Click here.

I first met Askar maybe 12 years ago, this young man who came to us to learn arabic braille and how to make braille books, so he could teach the blind in his own country.

Following Al Fitrah Foundation’s support for the printing of 100 Braille Qur’an sets in partnership with the Blind Resource Foundation Pakistan (BRFP) starting in March and continuing through September 2026, the Braille Qur’an sets are being produced and distributed to visually impaired Muslims across Pakistan.

With the dedication of Maulana Waqar and his team, deliveries are reaching communities nationwide — at BRFP’s headquarters in Karachi and through their face‑to‑face tours across various districts, where they visit schools, institutions, and local communities to personally deliver the Braille Qur’an sets.

A visually impaired mualaf received his Braille Qur’an with English translation after USIM arranged the waqaf. When the set arrived, he welcomed the team despite his health challenges, joined them for wudu’, listened to the azan, and performed his first Isyak prayer as a Muslim. A gentle and meaningful start to his journey.

Our festive walk at Titiwangsa Lake Park brought warm‑ups under the trees, light steps around the lake, and plenty of Raya chatter. The “Guess the Raya Song” game sparked confident vocals and laughter, followed by heartfelt stories that made the morning special. We cherished the little moments — the “lucky” kampung guest, a first warm family Eid, last‑minute baju Raya success, childhood duit Raya memories, loved ones remembered, and Majid watching his visually impaired kids enjoy the same carefree Raya magic.
