The application of the braille version of nawawi's 40 hadith among people with visual impairment

The production of the Braille version of Imam Nawawi's 40 Hadith is a current initiative and a new alternative of learning hadith for people with visual impairment in this country. The book, which contains Arabic/Jawi and Malay Language, consists of 42 Hadiths selected by Imam Nawawi and is hoped to become a teaching and learning medium for all educational institutions as well as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) involved. Through reading and mastering of the Braille Hadith book, a person with visual impairment can develop knowledge of Hadith and understand religious matters better. The Braille Version of Imam Nawawi's 40 Hadith has not been presented to the Malaysian Educational Ministry (KPM) to be carried out in Primary or Secondary school level and has not yet been introduced to any Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) in Malaysia. A study was carried out on the application of the Braille Version of Nawawi's 40 Hadith in 3 chosen locations around state of Melaka. A total of 50 respondents were chosen as part of the study, consisting of teachers and students of Sekolah Kebangsaan Ayer Keroh, Melaka and Sekolah Menengah Padang Temu, Melaka as well as members of Melaka's Society for the Blind (SBM). The purpose of the study was to identify the level of use and the respondents' acceptance towards the book, which has gone through many processes such as data collection, document analysis, interviews and surveys. Results showed that the visually impaired respondents were very interested in the Braille version of Nawawi's 40 Hadith and agreed for it to be applied at school level as well as by NGOs to allow them to have better understanding of Hadith as well as the Quran. � 2020 Innovare Academics Sciences Pvt.
