Indonesia's Islamic Boarding School Helps Students Recite The Koran In Sign Language
Indonesian deaf students, known as 'Santri,' are reading the Quran during the holy month of Ramadan at the Islamic deaf boarding school Darul Ashom in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, on March 14, 2024. Islamic boarding schools are an integral part of life in Indonesia, with 4.85 million students residing in 39,167 institutions across the country, according to the religious affairs ministry. However, this Islamic boarding school is one of the few that offers religious education for deaf students in the world's largest Muslim-majority country. The Islamic deaf boarding school, Darul Ashom, was founded in September 2019 by Abu Kahfi. It is a religious school for deaf children, where the students are rapidly gesturing with their hands, learning to recite the Quran in Arabic sign language. The school currently hosts 155 deaf boys and girls from across the archipelago who suffer from deafness and hearing loss. (Photo by Garry Lotulung/NurPhoto)
