AlFitrah Foundation Braille Quran Initiative from Chittagong, Bangladesh

I am always thankful when our Braille Quran reaches a blind person far away because it takes months on a ship to get there, and could so easily be lost. Today I got an email from Noushad who first wrote to AlFitrah Foundation Braille Quran Initiative from Chittagong, Bangladesh, 6 months ago about his relative Mohammad Gofran who was born in 1988,without any physical challenge, “his eyes were OK. When Gorfan was 10 he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and during surgery in 1998, unfortunately he lost his sight . That time Gofran was student of Class Six.

After 3 years of blindness he started education at year 2001 from nursery at an Autism school of Chittagong, Bangladesh; at 2006 he completed primary education from the school. Then he admitted at high school near to his home, he studied at the school for 4 years, due to some challenge he cannot seat for Secondary School examination from the school. Then he was admitted to open university and passed Secondary School examination at year 2012.

At present Gofran spend his time at a small Khankha (where people pray) located at Dohazari, Chittagong,Bangladesh. Gofran’s present family consist of his mother and 3 sisters; His Father who supported him to come so far has died at the year 2017. “@ Chittagong City - চট্টগ্রাম শহর

Aarron Zayd Burgin lost his vision through retinitis pigmentosa

Aarron Zayd Burgin lost his vision through retinitis pigmentosa at the age of 10 but today he is a black belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu and teaches and competes with able bodied people. After he converted to Islam at the age of 18 he started to learn the Quran with a sheikh and Alhamdulillah has memorized almost one third of the Quran. It is inspiring to meet someone who doesn’t let his blindness hold him back.

AlFitrah Foundation was happy to gift him a copy of Imam Nawawi’s collection of 40 Hadith and inshaa Allah will be sending him a Braille Quran very soon.

You can watch a video about Zayd here https://youtu.be/h67dsifotu4
