Alhamdullilah, two sets of Al Fitrah Braille Quran arrived at the Al Noor Blind Madrasa, Door No. 45 Navalar Nagar, 2nd Street, S.S. Colony, Madura in Tamilnadu, India on 15 January 2022.

The initiative was coordinated by Brother Mohamed Ansari and others from Sadaqah20. Together, they arranged for the delivery of the braille Qurans.

On 21 January 2022, after Jumaat Prayers, the braille Qurans were presented to two top students of the Madrasa.

Haji Mustafa, who runs the Madrasa for 35 visually impaired and one physically challenged students, was very pleased to receive the gifts. Haji Mustafa not only teaches braille at the Madrasa, he is their mentor. He encourages his students to strive in learning and understand the holy Quran, and to read other braille books to improve themselves. The students live around the S.S. Colony area and are from very poor surroundings.

“DU’AS IN THE LIFE OF A MUSLIM” is our new publication fromAlFitrah Foundation. Du’a ( requesting Allah for help) is the weapon of the believer. Constant du’as give us strength to carry on with life when things seem stressful or difficult to resolve. AlFitrah Foundation Braille Quran Initiative wanted to produce a book of du’a in English braille for the blind around the world.

Al Fitrah Foundation has been working closely with its counterparts internationally since its inception in 2014. Alhamdulillah, in the case of our brother, Ustaz Askar Shakirov, we have come a long way. As after completing the Braille course and the Kazakh primary syllabus in 2013, in Malaysia, together with his peers, they returned to Kazakhstan and started the first ever classes in Arabic Braille. From then on until now, they have taught around 100 visually impaired individuals in Kazakhstan at their centre in Almaty, in Semey, East Kazakhstan region.

So far, these students have become very well versed in terms of Arabic Braille and even memorized many parts of the Braille Al Quran and they are now training their own students, Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah today AlFitrah Foundation has donated two TV sets to SMK Setapak which is a school for visually impaired students. The TVs will be allocated to the recreation rooms of the male and female dormitories.
