Binwin Audiobook: Innovation in Islamic Religious Counseling, Marriage Guidance, and Facilities for the Visually Impaired
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the development of the Binwin Audiobook as an innovation in Islamic religious counseling, specifically for inclusive marriage guidance for the visually impaired in Lamongan Regency. Based on the low reading interest of the Indonesian people and limited access to religious information for the visually impaired, this study uses a qualitative approach with action research methods to analyze the transformation of the book "Foundations of a Sakinah Family" into 12 audiobook episodes lasting more than 8 hours. This program was successfully officially adopted by the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Lamongan Regency and implemented in 27 Religious Affairs Offices after winning the national PAI Award. The results of the study showed a positive response from prospective brides and grooms who felt helped by the flexibility of access to materials, while the visually impaired experienced a significant transformation in terms of independence and a sense of inclusion in accessing marriage guidance that was previously difficult to reach.
