In Medina, Saudi Arabia, 25 blind and deaf pilgrims from India visited Masjid Nabawi for the first time. The group arrived at the holy site with deep spiritual devotion and received guidance and support from volunteers throughout their visit.
The pilgrims came from various regions of India, many of whom were students and Quran memorizers. Their visit was described as the “fulfillment of a spiritual dream.” The group recited the Quran using Braille and sign language, with volunteers assisting them at every step.
The visit was organized by the charity organization Abdullah Aid, which ensured the pilgrims received the necessary guidance and support. During their visit, the pilgrims offered prayers at Masjid Nabawi and experienced the spiritual presence of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
This marks the first time a group of this nature from India has visited Masjid Nabawi, an effort widely praised for its social and religious significance.
Every year, millions of pilgrims visit Medina for Hajj and Umrah, but opportunities for blind and deaf individuals are limited. Special visits like this provide them with a profound spiritual experience, along with social and educational benefits.
One of the pilgrims said, “This is the happiest moment of our lives. We reached the Prophet’s ﷺ presence not with our eyes, but with our hearts and faith.”
The event highlights the importance of Masjid Nabawi visits for people with disabilities and serves as an inspiration for similar initiatives worldwide.
