Disability and Islamic Ideology:A study based on the Quran

Abstract

Islam is not merely a personal philosophy; it has numerous dimensions. It has multiple facets, and Islam does not consider one Muslim superior to another. When analyzing Islamic history, one can observe perspectives that see all humans as imperfect and interdependent. Islam asserts that cultural aspects linked with personal identity, such as values like curse, burden, grace, power, compassion, and thoughtfulness, can be seen through the lens of disability. Reading the Quran, the primary scripture of Islam, allows for examination and understanding of the readings related to acceptance and perspectives on inclusivity and integration. This study aims to analyze the foundational principles and attitudes of Islamic teachings, rooted in the Quran, regarding disability and the Islamic perspective on a person with disability. This exploration aligns with the core of Islamic teachings, connecting the foundational principles of Islamic education with disability.
