Special Persons’ Department

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه Dawat-e-Islami comprises of over 80 departments, all of which are working to spread Islam and Islamic knowledge. One of them is the Special Persons’ Department. Deaf, mute, or blind Islamic brothers sometimes lack knowledge of Islam, due to not having resources to learn or not having those who can teach them.

In various places, this department establishes study systems for Islamic brothers with disabilities. These occur during the weekly gathering, on sacred nights, and during Ramadan’s collective iʿtikāf. Sign language is used to translate during these, and reading material is provided to the blind in Braille.
