The first Friday Juma of Ramzan, widely considered very auspicious by the fasting believers, was very special for three visually challenged scholars of Madin Academy here.
When the three scholars with visual impairment, Shabeer Ali, Umerul Aqsam and Sinan, were called in to lead the Juma rites at Madin Grand Mosque on March 15 (Friday), it was not only recognition for the visually challenged, but also a record of sorts.
Madin officials said nowhere in the country had three visually challenged persons led different Juma rites such as the azaan (call for prayer), the khutbah (preaching) and the prayer before.
