| Summary: | The religious practice in everyday life is part of the manifestation of religion and belief of every human being.
Within the Islamic context, for example, religious practices must be one that stems from the Islamic religious laws. All
Muslims, including the deaf, need to perform their religious obligations within their abilities. However, not much attention
is given to people with disability, such as the deaf, with regards to observing their religious practices and in understanding
the related problems that they face. This article serves to explain religious practices of the deaf Muslims through a research
conducted at a Special Education School (for the Deaf) in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and the Activity Centre, Society for the
Welfare of the Deaf in Terengganu, Malaysia. This study employs the survey method, which uses the questionnaire as an
instrument for data collection. Among the aspects of religious practices observed are acts of worship like prayer and fasting,
as well as general practices like eating habits, and ways of dressing. The study showed that the hearing impaired also perform
religious practices in their daily life, although a majority of them are unable to perform them completely. |
