Islam looked upon Man as an honored being that lies at the top of the pyramid of creatures. It laid the original rules so as to suffice the good life to him from the point that he is a man. It exploited the universe for his service, and made piety the standard for distinction among human beings. The differences in creation, organism, color or whatever else were not one day a criterion among human beings in the shade of Islam. That is in addition to what it determined from the principles of mercy among human beings, the cooperation and human fraternity which rises on the basis of respect. From here came the care of the injured in Islam under a comprehensive auspices from all sides of the life of the injured under the wing of the Islamic state and the Islamic society that was never surpassed in the shadow of any other civilization. The care of the injured in Islam springs from this religion which is branded for mercy, brotherhood and affiliation which were planted in the spirits of the Moslems as criteria that the Moslem does not deviate from whatever the circumstances might be. After I, by favor from God, His ability and assistance, had detailed most of the religious rules, related to the behaviors of the "deaf & dumb", it is necessary and useful to summarize the results which I had reached to, a brief summarization that suffices the required purpose, simply because it is possible to summarize and arrange these results and the facts in the following points:-1- the means of the deaf & dumb to express their will is: writing and signaling.2- the religious rules, such as: prayer, must be complied by the deaf & dumb, in accordance to their ability. Their personal behaviors, such as: intercourse & divorce, besides their financial behaviors, such as: selling & purchasing, and further other things.3- I clarified the viewpoints of the clergymen in the subject of acknowledgement from the deaf & dumb with their rights of people and the rights of God. In addition to that, I did clarify the subject of testimony from them.4- I explained the subject of capital crimes, and all that is related to the capital offence on the tongue of the dumb and the ear of the deaf5- I illustrated the subject of their employment in governmental positions or their service in the departments of the state. At the end, I ask God- be almighty- that the Moslems might benefit from this humble effort, and make it a passing charity in the balance of our deeds in the day of judgment, a day when neither fund, nor prosperity will benefit, except those who came to Allah with a sound heart.
