Member of IBQS for Malaysia and AlFitrah Foundation at a ceremony to recognize sponsors for Tabung Haji, the Malaysian Pilgrims Fund. For the 2015 Haj season , AlFitrah has produced a Braille version of the Guide to Haj that is given to all Malaysian pilgrims. Other corporate sponsors donate bags, toiletries , SIM cards ,medication and prayer books. We have offered to braillize the prayer books so that the blind pilgrims will also have access to the same reading materials and guides as the sighted . Out of the approximately 22,000 Malaysian pilgrims every year there will be a small number who are visually impaired.
Sheikh Abdul Rahman Aljamal of Dar Alquraan AL Kriam had suggested we hold the first ever competition in Gaza for blind people to memorize the Quran. We had expected children and youth to participate but Alhamdulillah many blind senior citizens also came forward after hearing the announcement on the radio.
(The competition was funded by private donations channeled through Viva Palestina Malaysia.)
Al-Fitrah Foundation our member in Malaysia has produced a book of selected surahs in braille , in a size that is easy to carry.
