One of the roles of IBQS is to ensure that the blind everywhere in the world can get access to the Quran.

Alhamdulillah our friends at MAVIN the Muslim Association for visually impaired people in Nigeria have received the braille Quraanic primers and Juz 30 books sent by Alfitrah Foundation. The students in the photos are now learning to read the Quran. We need to send more Braille Qurans and books to Nigeria so that we can reach more areas as many blind Muslims there have no access to the Quran.

Palestinian school girls, Amal and Fatima, invent something that could change the lives of blind people.

Choice.

 On the surface, the word seems so mundane. Its spelling is not complicated, its pronunciation is not difficult, but upon reflection, its significance is full of depth and complexity. To have a choice means to have dignity. To have a choice means to have respect and equality. To have a choice means to have validation.

Muhammad Islah Busakorn is a member of IBQS who lives in Chiengmai, Thailand. Here he is holding a braille Quran from Alfitrah Foundation, another member of IBQS.

Islah is a teacher and travels around Thailand to teach Quran. Here is a report of his recent trip. Alhamdu Lillah, this is a little report that I wrote concerning my trip experiences to Hadyai. It was sometime ago when I went to Hadyai to start up a Braille Qur'aan education system for the blind over there and with the help of Allah, the students began learning since then.

Consequently, there arose a need to visit the place and to follow up with the work progress so I setout for Hadyai on the 5th of March 2016 and returned on the 9th. It was a trip coupled with many unforgettable moments So I decided to note down some of them and share with you my learning experience.

Maulana Islah Busakorn from Chiengmai , Thailand reciting surah Al Hashr from the braille Quran we sent him. Alhamdulillah we have sent braille Qurans and Islamic books to the blind in 20 countries on 5 continents, many were donated and the Post office delivers braille books for free.
