the visual impaired  child named Sinaf Muktar was sent to a nearby school when she was old enough to attend school. Since she was the first and only visual impaired child at the school, the school community did not know how to support her.

Although her blindness did not prevent her from moving and playing freely, it did not prevent her from writing and reading freely. However, her teachers, who saw that she moved freely, expected her to do any homework or classwork equally to any other student. If she did not do it, the punishment was severe.

Like any other visual students, she was not given the opportunity to participate when asked questions.

Her parents were also unable to help her in this regard, as they were users of the Braille Quran.

One day, when the punishment was piling up, she decided not to go to school and didn’t get out of bed in the morning. Even though her parents repeatedly asked her to go to school, she said she would never go.

When asked what she was, she cried and told her parents that the teacher would be beaten because she could not do her homework and classroom work because of her lack of vision.

Her parents went to school and told her teacher that she could not do the same homework as the other children and that the teachers should work on her.

The teacher regretted what she had done and apologized.

Finally, Sinaf Abdullah ibnu Umi Mektum  joined the Qur’anic Association and is studying the regular and Braille Qur’an with visual impaired children like her.

Abdullah Ibnu Umi Mektum, the Quran Association, is working to provide universal knowledge for the disabled, especially the visual impaired.

You too, “be a light” for the visual impaired , support the visual impaired.
