This summer, under the guidance of Ustaz Askar Shakirov, students embarked on a meaningful learning experience at Nur-Mubarak University. After completing the Braille primer, many progressed to studying the Braille Qur’an.

A ceremony was held to celebrate their efforts, where certificates of attendance were graciously presented by Vice-Rector Yershat Ongar

“Workshops like this are rare, so when I heard about it, I jumped in!” said Amer, our colleague.

With nearly 40 years of expertise, our trainer offered far more than just the basics. What I thought would be an introductory course turned out to be an intermediate-level deep dive.

Since 2021, Al Fitrah Foundation & MSRI have teamed up to provide Quran classes for young refugee students — Alhamdulillah!

Over 40 children now attend daily lessons, guided by 2 dedicated teachers and a loving coordinator. Their connection with the Quran grows stronger each day.

Al Fitrah Foundation has been proudly supporting Sekolah Islamiyah—a lifeline for Rohingya refugee children in Kuala Lumpur—since before the pandemic. As the school grows, so does our commitment. We’ve increased funding to ensure operational costs and support the incredible teachers making a difference daily.

Last week, we saw the passion of 3 amazing teachers leading Year 2 to Year 6 in English, Math, and Science. Despite the noise and thin walls, their energy was unwavering, and the students’ eagerness to learn was truly inspiring!

Alhamdulillah, Maulana Waqar and his team at BRFP have been working hard to provide Braille Qurans to visually impaired students across Pakistan.

On his recent trip, Maulana Waqar distributed Braille Quran sets to students of all ages in various cities while supporting local communities and setting up new Quran classes.
