In a ceremony sponsored by the Qatari Ambassador in Jakarta,

QC Presents ‘Mushaf Bassira’ (a copy of the Holy Quran for the visually impaired) as  a gift to 2,000 visually impaired persons in Indonesia

• Indonesia's x-minister of endowment: QC offers exquisite projects to the Indonesians
• The Holy Quran distribution will include 7 cities in 4 islands

In Indonesia, QC inaugurated its campaign "Mushaf Bassira" to distribute 2,000 copies to visually impaired persons.

The inauguration ceremony was held in Filmang city in Sumatra Island under the auspices of Mohammed Al-Khater, Qatar Ambassador in Indonesia, and in the presence of the governor, and other important figures. Dr. Said Agil Husin Al Munawar, Indonesia's x-minister of endowment and religious affairs, attended the ceremony and expressed his great appreciation and sincere gratitude to the Qatari ambassador and QC for coming to the city and for distributing copies of the Holy Quran to the visually impaired persons. "We are very happy to be here today. This excellent project cannot but be added to a long list of great projects which QC implements in our country," he said.

Mohammed Al-Khater, Qatar ambassador in Indonesia, said "I am happy to attend this wonderful ceremony. This project is very special because it offers a sacred service. Helping the visually impaired by giving them copies of "Mushaf Bassira", which will assist them in reading and memorizing the Quran, is a precious deed. I also thank QC for all the great efforts it exerts here in Indonesia, the big Islamic country."

Then, the copies were distributed to the visually impaired persons sitting among the audience; and were introduced to the different functions of the copy which made them feel very joyful, and thankful.

Mr. Karam Zeinhom,  Country Director of QC Indonesia, said, "This copy of the Holy Quran "Mushaf Bassira" will not serve the Visually impaired persons in Jakarta only, but will extend to serve others in 7 different cities, in 4 Indonesian islands. I thank and appreciate all of you for coming and attending the inauguration of the campaign."

Important Features

The idea of Mushaf Bassira is to provide a manual written in Braille code. Users can select the surah (chapter) they wishe to listen to, and can rewind the verses they wants.

The Mushaf also allows a user to listen to the explanation of the verses; which means s\he can listen to the recitation of the Quran, memorize it, and learn its meaning.

In cooperation with a Malaysian company, QC printed "Mushaf Bassira" to the visually impaired so as to learn the Quran and listen to its recitation easily.

This unique product is very important because there are more than 7,000,000 visually impaired persons in the Arab world. Most of these people cannot afford buying a copy of the Quran written in Braille code; it is expensive, and very big.

This copy has a list of all the surahs (chapters) printed in Braille code with an electronic pen with a sound system. The visually impaired person can use it to listen to famous Quran reciters, to learn the meaning of the words, to know the occasions and circumstances of revelation, to control the sound volume, to easily find the surahs and verses, and to listen to several invocations.

Good-doers can donate by using QC's website qcharity.org\MUSHAF or by going to the QC's headquarter, its branches, or its collecting booths in malls. Ooredoo customers can send "بصيرة"  in an SMS to 92652 to donate 400 QR.

The House of the Quran

As part of its interest in teaching Quran and its sciences, QC has implemented a project in Indonesia called "Bait Al-Quran" (The House of the Quran) at a cost of 1,500,000 QR by the end of last year.  It offers different services, and more than 350 students are benefiting from it.

The project is basically a school which consists of 6 classes, a mosque, laboratories, a library, a water well, 8 bathrooms, a dorm for the teachers, another one for the students, and two stores.

QC helps improve the educational field so that it would be effectively used. Until the end of last year, QC established around 15 centers which offer different services set in different cities in Indonesia.

QC had already implemented several cultural and educational projects in Indonesia. It also built 16 schools which benefit 53,000 Indonesian citizens. QC also built 496 mosques in Indonesia that serve 25,000 people. Furthermore, QC printed and distributed copies of the Holy Quran to almost 150,000 people.

38,000 beneficiaries at a cost of 2,000,000 QR

QC’s Project in Bangladesh Fights Drought

• The project has provided the inhabitants with clean drinking water after a long time of suffering
• 1,200 farms irrigated… The Health Center serves 20,000 people annually

As it always implements projects to solve the problems of poor communities, QC started a project which offers different services in Nouga in Bangladesh. It has always suffered from drought, lack of drinking and irrigation water, and lack of other basic services.

This project, which cost more than 2,000,000 QR, consists of 12 water units with their networks to provide the targeted people and their lands with water; plus a health center which includes outpatient clinics, inpatient beds, laboratories; and a school for the neighborhood’s children. 

This project helps more than 18,000 people and 20,000 patients a year. They are treated at the health center; which increases the total number of beneficiaries to be 38,000 people. Moreover, 1,200 farms make use of the water networks. This project is unique because it works automatically; local committees were trained to operate the machines and to use them in best manner possible. The beneficiaries pay monthly subscription fees which cover operation, and maintenance expenses.

Fighting Drought

This project is one of QC’s most important development projects in the country. All the sources of water in Nouga, one of Bangladesh’s arid areas, either suffer from drought or polluted for six months a year. During this time of the year, the people suffer from lack of clean drinking and irrigating water which results in causing them diseases transmitted by the polluted water. They cannot farm their lands either, which causes them great financial losses and shortage of food supplies. In order for the country to solve this problem, it established special water department called Drought Areas Water Department to fight the drought and help the people get clean water. Because QC always makes sure to help in projects which are good to Bangladesh and its people, it went forward in implementing this project.         

Inclusive Centers

It is worth mentioning that QC implements several projects which provide different services in Bangladesh. It establishes inclusive centers which include houses for the sponsored orphans, and provides several services for the target families. This is in addition to many productive and developmental projects such as Khubayb Ibn Adiy Center, which is one of the most essential centers for the orphans, their families, and the neighborhood’s. The center consists of an orphanage, a school (from grade 1 to grade 10), a health center, a vocational training center, farming lands, houses for the employees, playgrounds, and a mosque.

This center provides shelter for 400 orphans, 40 employees and workers, and their families. Around 400 students, from grade 1 to grade 10, go to the center’s school. A comprehensive curriculum was designed for the students of this center which includes general, religious, and vocational subjects. The center’s health unit treats the students, the orphans, the employees, and their families, as well as the neighborhood’s. The unit’s employees make visits to nearby villages to spread health awareness, and to treat the sick villagers. The center also offers the sponsored persons, their families, and the neighborhood’s seasonal projects such as Iftar banquets, Zakat, and Udhiyya. The school of this center opens its doors for the children to study while the training center teaches women sewing, tapestry, and handcrafts. The center also supervises QC’s other projects in Rangpur District like building mosques, complexes, and income-generating projects.
