| Abstract | ||||
| This research handles one of the most important social classes that is people with disabilities, and chronic in some regions of the Islamic Mashreq: Al-Hejaz, the Levant (Bilad Al-Sham), and Iraq during the first and the second centuries of the Hijra. Caring for this group of people is regarded as a vital matter. Those people need special health, psychological and economical care whose community is committed to providing them with their needs. Although this class of people is considered one the most marginalized segments of society through the ages, they have received appropriate care and concern in the Islamic countries during the first centuries of the Hijra, particularly in light of the approach adopted by Muslim Caliphs. Their approach focused on meeting people’s needs, especially those most in need. On close scrutiny, the policies towards people with disabilities, and chronic point out that there was no marginalization for them in the period of research. This is generally true as some people with disabilities play significant roles that will be discussed in details. | ||||
