Abstract

This paper aims to provide an analytical perspective of Islamic philosophy on disability by examining some texts from the Qur'an and Sunnah, as well as differentiating between cultural practice and real Islamic perspectives. Despite the fact that Muslims share the same beliefs and principles, people's attitudes and understanding regarding these concepts, and their reactions to individuals with a disability, may vary depending on the intensity of a person's faith, as well as their socio-economic status, level of education, awareness and, more importantly, their cultural context. Indeed, special emphasis will be given to cultural differences and their influence on Muslims' understanding and practice of Islamic philosophy within this context, where cultural perspectives play a crucial role in framing attitudes towards disadvantaged people.
