Quran, Religious Books in Braille Presented at Quran Exhibit
The Isfahan Visually-Impaired Pavilion is presenting Braille copies of the Holy Book and Mafatih al-Jinan.
Mafatih al-Jinan (Keys to Heavens) by Shaikh Abbass Qumi is a Shia compilation of selected chapters (surahs) from Quran, Taaqeebat e namaz (acts of worship after prayers), and supplications narrated from Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS).
The Quran copies in Braille are in two versions, a 33-volume version that includes the Persian translation of the Quran by Ayatollah Makarem Shirzai and a 10-volume version without the translation.
According to the officials of the pavilion, there have been orders for the copies from a number of foreign countries.
The pavilion has been set up by the Roshandelan (the blind) Cultural, Quranic Foundation with the aim of promoting the Quranic culture and Islamic teachings among the visually-impaired.
