This study examines the teaching of the Al-Quran among visually impaired individuals at PERTIS Wilayah Pahang, focusing specifically on the accessibility of learning processes. The objective of this research is to analyze the issues and challenges faced during the teaching and learning activities at the center. A qualitative approach employing a phenomenological design was adopted utilizing in-depth interviews with one instructor, five visually impaired students, and one administrative officer from PERTIS Wilayah Pahang. The data were analyzed using NVivo12 software through open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to identify the main themes of the study. The findings reveal several key challenges in Quranic instruction at PERTIS Wilayah Pahang, including a shortage of instructors proficient in Braille, limitations in the Al-Quran Braille learning process, and accessibility issues at the activity center and its facilities. The study proposes several improvements, such as the use of the Malaysian Braille Al-Quran (MQBM), employing cooks, upgrading infrastructure, and providing regular training for instructors. These findings are expected to contribute to enhancing the Quranic education system for visually impaired individuals and to encourage authorities to improve the infrastructure of Al-Quran Braille learning classes.
