MAKKAH: The Saudi Presidency of Religious Affairs at the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque has launched a dedicated Quran class for deaf women at the Grand Mosque.
The initiative is part of its specialised educational initiatives to facilitate Quran learning, promote inclusivity in religious services, and ensure broader access to Quranic programmes, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Wednesday.
The class provides a learning environment tailored to the needs of women with hearing disabilities, using appropriate teaching and communication methods to help them study the Holy Quran, understand its meanings, and enhance their Quranic skills.
