Learning to touch type is considered one of the most beneficial skills for visually impaired and blind individuals. This is because it allows them to transfer their thoughts easily and automatically onto a screen. It provides them with an invaluable tool and asset for independent working and communicating.
Learning to touch type at any age can dramatically boost confidence, self-belief and independence. However, teaching learners with visual impairment at an early age can drastically transform their experience whilst at school and in FE/HE. It puts them on a more even standing with their sighted peers and opens doors to new career opportunities.
Achieving muscle memory and automaticity when touch typing increases efficiency and productivity. However, most importantly, it frees the conscious mind to concentrate on planning, composing, processing and editing, greatly improving the quality of the work produced.
The KAZ Course
The KAZ course is a tutorial and is designed to be used independently or with minimum supervision. However, a structured lesson plan is available in Administrators’ admin-panels should they wish to teach the course during lessons.
The course consists of five modules:
Module 1– Flying Start - explains how the course works, teaches the home-row keys, correct posture whilst sitting at the keyboard, and explains the meaning, causes, signs, symptoms and preventative measures for Repetitive Strain Injury.
Module 2– The Basics - teaches the A-Z keys using KAZ’s five scientifically structured and trademarked phrases.
Module 3– Just Do It - offers additional exercises and challenge modules to help develop ‘muscle memory’, automaticity and help ingrain spelling.
Module 4– And The Rest - teaches punctuation and the number keys.
Module 5– SpeedBuilder - offers daily practice to increase speed and accuracy.
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There is a kind of jealousy that Allah loves, and a kind of jealousy that Allah hates. As for the jealousy that Allah loves: it is jealousy concerning a matter of suspicion (i.e., when there is genuine cause). And the jealousy that Allah hates: it is jealousy concerning a matter of no suspicion (i.e., baseless jealousy).’”
In the vast ocean of Islamic literature, few books hold as much authority as Sahih al-Bukhari . Compiled by Imam Muhammad al-Bukhari over 16 years, it is considered the most authentic collection of hadith after the Qur’an. Within its 97 books and over 7,500 narrations (including repetitions), each number tells a story. But one specific number— Sahih Bukhari 5255 —stands out as a mirror to the human soul, revealing a profound conversation between the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and one of his closest companions.
The Prophet—the same man who said, “The best of you are those best to their wives”—is drawing a red line:
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Marriage, Hadith 5255) In some editions, the hadith continues with an action: The Prophet saw a man staring at a woman (or acting jealous without cause) and forbade it. However, the core matn (text) establishes a critical distinction: vs. pathological, baseless jealousy . The Grading and Chain of Narration One might ask: Is Sahih Bukhari 5255 truly sahih (authentic)? The answer is yes—it is unanimously accepted. The chain ( isnad ) goes from Imam Bukhari back to Abdullah ibn Umar, the son of the second Caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab. Abdullah was known for his meticulous adherence to the Prophet’s example, and scholars have verified every narrator in the chain as trustworthy, of strong memory, and without defect.
