The persons with debilities may have long-term physical, mental, logical or sensual injuries which in contact with several obstacles may obstruct their full and actual contribution in the society on an equivalent basis with others. In the early era, disable people were treated badly, even sometimes they were killed. While being the religion of peace, Islam doesn’t allow any of such inhuman behavior but provide them relaxation in its commandments and the people who treat them properly are appreciated. In Pakistan, several efforts are made to rehabilitate the disabled ones. This paper is an attempt to show these efforts and compare it with the teachings of Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding people with disabilities; which will be a fruitful contribution for the welfare of the people with disabilities.
