IBQS has hosted directors of Al-basir and Al-nor blind schools in Somalia-Mogadishu. Alhamdulillah we have decided to implement a Braille Quran training program to be implemented in Somalia.
We have also found some time to visit officials in Istanbul. We have met by Mr. Onal Inaltekin, Director of Family and Social Policies Ministry Istanbul Branch.
Today I have visited website of @IQRA International Educational Foundation at: http://iqrafoundation.com
They have wide variety of books and resources for children and everyone at all level of Islamic knowledge. Yet, their books are available in electronic format. May Allah the almighty open new doors for them to serve and grant his Jannah.
A jam packed audience of blind students at Aligarh Muslim University attended a workshop titled, “Easy way to Understand Qur’an for Visually Disabled”, on Saturday, 8th November’ 2014 at ‘Cultural Hall, Maulana Azad Library, AMU’ from 3 pm to 5 pm.
The workshop was organised by a student organisation, “Students of AMU” in coordination with ‘Disability Unit, of Aligarh Muslim University. The purpose of the workshop was to reach out to visually challenged students with the Brail script of Primer for Holy Quran and its audio guide. It was for the first time at AMU that blind students were trained to read a Brail script for easy understanding of the glorious Qur’an.

I received a newspaper clipping from the 1980's from brother Yuzaidi Yusoff about a blind person ,Haji Mohammed Noor from Kota Bharu, who was tasked by the Malaysian Religious Affairs Department to transcribe the Holy Quran into braille for the first time in Malaysia . One of the readers who assisted him at the Muslim Women's Board where he carried out this task was Yuzaidi's mother Hajjah Jawahir Abdul Aziz ,a Quran teacher.
The other photo was taken when she visited him 20 years later at Institut Tahfiz Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah in Brunei where he was working .
Alhamdulillah we have come a long way and we can now produce the braille Quran electronically faster and in large numbers.

Tablets have changed lives of millions of users but blind people can't make the most of them.
Two Austrian engineers have designed a new kind of tablet. With a system of inflatable bubbles, its screen can translate any digital text into braille, allowing 150 million of visually impaired people to read, to be informed and to communicate more easily.
For #ImpactJournalism Day, supported by AXA, this project was selected to gain visibility in newspapers around the world.
Alhamdulillah the Quran memorization camps for blind and deaf people have resumed in order to complete the syllabus of the summer camp. The camps had to be suspended in summer due to the Zionist attacks.
Dar Al Quran Al Karim Wa Sunnah (DQWS) will continue the Quran memorizing courses for deaf and blind students groups, who joined the Taj Al Wakar camp " 6" before the last war.
and during the war DQWS held all its activities to protect our children and youth from any dangers.
Dar al Quran alkareem wa sunnah ( DQWS) run a summer camp for blind children every year to memorise the Quran but this year's camp was disrupted by the cruel Zionist attacks that killed over 2000 Gazans and destroyed 70 mosques many of which were centres of Quran learning.
Inshaa Allah the camp will continue over the winter holidays to complete the syllabus.
Please donate also to help DQWS to rebuild the centres again .
Alhamdulillah, the braille Quran from Persatuan Braille Malaysia has enabled Mr Ali to read and memorise the complete Quran.
