The Koran was published by the Office of Muslims of Uzbekistan together with the Republican Society of the Blind with the support of the Kuwait International Charity Fund.

"Uzbekistan became the third state of the world (after Egypt and Tunisia), which carried out this good work," said the head of the spiritual administration.

According to A. Bahramov, the Qur'an, filled with Braille's font, will be distributed free of charge in the republic, where about 24 thousand blind people live, for which special mosques are open. The sacred book will also be transferred to special boarding schools and public libraries of the republic.

The Chairman of the Office of the Muslims of Uzbekistan emphasized that "the publication of the Holy Koran for the blind, the organization of a bureau for the deaf-mute in two Friday mosques of Tashkent, the decision to introduce this experience and in other regions of the republic will be an invaluable gift for fellow citizens with disabilities."
