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.
At Al Fitrah Foundation, Sister Rakiah binti Daud stands out for her remarkable dedication to Braille Quran recitation. Over the past three years, she has completed it multiple times, driven by unwavering commitment. Praised by her teacher, Ustazah Halima, for her passion and perseverance, Sister Rakiah was recently honoured with a certificate and token of appreciation by Sister Aida. Her journey is a powerful reminder that with determination, no obstacle is too great.

His ongoing collaboration with Al Fitrah Foundation ensures continued Braille Quran and Primer production, supporting accessibility and education across Kazakhstan. His work will help graduates serve mosques and madrasahs, strengthening the legacy of inclusive learning.
