Visually impaired woman translates Quran into Braille

 

A 28-year-old visually challenged woman, Naphish Tareen, has produce the holy book Quran in Braille.

It took her four years to translate the Quran under the instructions of Hafiz Tasleem Sahab in 2005 and completed it in 2009

She teaches in an upgraded high school in Ranipokhar, studied in Varanasi because the industrial town did not have a school for the blind back then. She completed her graduation from Mahila College in Bokaro in 2008.

Her desire to read the Quran drove Naphish Tareen to produce a translation of the holy book in Braille.
Report further added that Naphish asked her family members to bring a Braille translation of the holy book when she was in college, but they did not find it following which she decided to produce a translation of Quran in Braille under the supervision of under the instructions of Hafiz Tasleem Sahab.

This is probably the first Braille Quran in the country, though Naphish's was not the first initiative. Rabiya Khan, a visually impaired law student from Indore, compiled 10 paragraphs of the Quran in
Braille in 2014. But the Bokaro woman has translated the whole book and also provided a Hindi translation of the Quran in Braille.

Naphish's parents, Md Mukhtar Aslam and Hussan Ara, now want Prime Minister Narendera Modi to verify and publish the book so that other visually impaired people in the country can benefit.
