This chapter examines community-based pathways to disability inclusion within Muslim societies, emphasizing the interconnected roles of families, mosques, Islamic educational institutions, and broader community networks. Moving beyond policy-centered approaches, the chapter argues that sustainable inclusion depends on transforming everyday social environments where religious values, cultural norms, and institutional practices intersect. Drawing on Islamic moral theology, the chapter highlights concepts of human dignity (karāmah), justice (ʿadl), compassion (raḥmah), and collective responsibility (farḍ kifāyah) as ethical foundations for inclusive community life. Empirical evidence from Muslim-majority contexts, particularly Indonesia, illustrates how family engagement, inclusive mosque initiatives, leadership commitment, accessible infrastructure, and stigma-reduction programs contribute to expanding participation for persons with disabilities. The chapter further analyzes collaboration among families, religious institutions, schools, and disability advocacy organizations as a critical mechanism for embedding inclusion across social sectors. By integrating Islamic ethical frameworks with contemporary theories of inclusive education and community development, the chapter positions inclusion as a shared moral obligation rather than an individual accommodation. It concludes that aligning theological principles with institutional accountability and community participation offers a culturally grounded and sustainable pathway toward equitable belonging and full participation for persons with disabilities in Muslim societies.

摘要

This chapter examines community-based pathways to disability inclusion within Muslim societies, emphasizing the interconnected roles of families, mosques, Islamic educational institutions, and broader community networks. Moving beyond policy-centered approaches, the chapter argues that sustainable inclusion depends on transforming everyday social environments where religious values, cultural norms, and institutional practices intersect. Drawing on Islamic moral theology, the chapter highlights concepts of human dignity (karāmah), justice (ʿadl), compassion (raḥmah), and collective responsibility (farḍ kifāyah) as ethical foundations for inclusive community life. Empirical evidence from Muslim-majority contexts, particularly Indonesia, illustrates how family engagement, inclusive mosque initiatives, leadership commitment, accessible infrastructure, and stigma-reduction programs contribute to expanding participation for persons with disabilities. The chapter further analyzes collaboration among families, religious institutions, schools, and disability advocacy organizations as a critical mechanism for embedding inclusion across social sectors. By integrating Islamic ethical frameworks with contemporary theories of inclusive education and community development, the chapter positions inclusion as a shared moral obligation rather than an individual accommodation. It concludes that aligning theological principles with institutional accountability and community participation offers a culturally grounded and sustainable pathway toward equitable belonging and full participation for persons with disabilities in Muslim societies.
