I attended a #MyDisabledRamadan event today & have been thinking abt disabled prophets & a thought that came up is that Moses AS had a speech disability & literally spoke to God/dess & when he asked for help bc ppl weren’t listening to him bc of his disability 1/
he was given social supports [thru his brother as aide] not a miracle cure while he literally performed miracles himself in other situations by Allah’s leave.

Obvs speech therapy etc may not have been a thing then so something I find interesting to reflect on as a disabled Muslim around access needs being met vs sometimes the focus on praying for miraculous cures happening 3/

But I see this as v much a social model of disability example. 4/

Like I read the issue as ppl’s ableism = not listening to him & being given social support to address that.
