Braille Module of Zakat Management Education for the Blind: An Effective Tactile Islamic Learning Innovation

Abstract

Learning zakat is very important for every Muslim, whether normal or disabled. However, with limited vision, blind people experience challenges in learning the knowledge of zakat better. They also do not have enough resources as reading materials related to zakat. Therefore, a Braille Module for Zakat Management Education for the Blind has been produced by MAIPk in collaboration with UKM. To identify the level of effectiveness of using this module in helping blind people understand zakat, three interviews were conducted with three informants among blind people. After conducting a thematic analysis of the transcripts produced, the findings show that the module meets the needs of blind people in terms of comprehension impact, module presentation and appropriate content. Based on the findings of this study, it is hoped that many more modules will be produced using braille to facilitate the understanding of the blind.
