On April 30th, the Al Fitrah Foundation held a reading session at SMK Kampung Jawa, Klang, featuring Strength from Within by Sa’diyya Nesar. Over 30 students—including those from the special education program—joined the inclusive event supporting visually impaired learners.
The book, written by a physically challenged author, shares stories of the prophets to inspire resilience and faith. 🕊️💪 To encourage continued learning, the foundation contributed a set to the school library.
Puan Sri Norma Hashim, founder of the Al Fitrah Foundation, visited the Seville Mosque Foundation, presenting the Braille book 'Dua’s in the Life of a Muslim' to Brother Ibrahim Hernandez, the foundation’s president. She joined the community’s weekly Dua Nasiri recitation for Palestinians.
In 2017, the Foundation donated Braille Qur’ans to the mosque, enabling visually impaired Muslims to access the Qur’an. These efforts reflect Al Fitrah’s mission to promote inclusivity through accessible Islamic literature.
The Al Fitrah team had the pleasure of meeting Brother Ziaudheen, a kind-hearted businessman from Chennai, India. Driven by compassion and thoughtfulness, he purchased two sets of Braille Qurans to gift his visually impaired friend. SubhanAllah, such a beautiful gesture!
We pray that his friend finds joy and guidance in reading the Quran. May Allah bless Brother Ziaudheen with success in his endeavours and reward his noble intention. Ameen.
We warmly welcomed Sister Siti Bariyah binti Bahari to our Braille Quran class, led by Ustazah Halima, in late April. She joins us as Sister Rakiah completes her own heartfelt journey.May this new chapter bring her much light and barakah, In Sha Allah.
The Al Fitrah Team had the honour of hosting Maulana Shoeb Nakhuda from the Al-Qalam Vision Institute, UK, an organisation dedicated to empowering visually impaired students through Islamic education, including Quran reading, memorisation, and Aqidah.
Maulana shared inspiring stories, such as how a blind student found comfort in the Braille Quran, Alhamdulillah. He also introduced valuable tech tools like magnifier apps and Be My Eyes to support individuals with low vision.
