Disability is not merely a physical or mental deficiency experienced by an individual, but a multidimensional phenomenon shaped within the framework of the meanings attributed to it by society and the relationships it establishes. This seminar study focuses on the religious lives of individuals with disabilities and the approaches of world religions toward these individuals, from a sociological perspective. By addressing the individual, social, and religious dimensions of disability together, this study also reveals both the opportunities and limitations that religion offers to individuals with disabilities. Throughout history, the discourses and practices of religions regarding the phenomenon of disability have varied. Judaism exhibits a contradictory attitude by implementing regulations that both exclude and protect individuals with disabilities from sacred spaces. In Christianity, the healing of disabled individuals by Jesus emphasizes compassion, acceptance, and inclusiveness. In Hinduism, disability is generally seen as a result of past lives, whereas in Buddhism, it is interpreted as an opportunity for spiritual transformation. Islam, on the other hand, approaches the issue of disability from a more inclusive perspective compared to other religions. In Islam, facilitative rulings have been introduced to ease religious obligations for individuals with disabilities, and exemptions have been granted in acts of worship. Furthermore, the active participation of disabled individuals in both social and religious duties is encouraged. In recent times, various practices such as Friday sermons in sign language and audio Qur’ān applications have been initiated in some Islamic countries to improve access to religious services for individuals with disabilities. The research findings show that religion serves as a significant source of support for individuals with disabilities in coping with spiritual, psychological, and social challenges. However, it has also been revealed that current religious services are not sufficiently inclusive due to structural barriers, lack of awareness, and inadequate materials. Therefore, it is essential for religious leaders to develop awareness about disability, for places of worship to be made accessible, and for religious education to be structured according to different types of disabilities. Ultimately, in order to strengthen the unifying and embracing function of religion, right-based and inclusive approaches must be developed in which individuals with disabilities are accepted as active members of religious communities. A qualitative method was employed in the research, and both classical and contemporary religious sources as well as sociological literature were reviewed. The data obtained through content analysis were categorized under themes such as religious development, participation in worship, and access to religious services by individuals with disabilities. Moreover, it was identified that false religious interpretations in society, such as perceiving disability solely as a divine punishment, undermine both the inner peace of individuals and the collective sense of responsibility. Consequently, religion has been identified as a vital resource that supports both individual resilience and social responsibility. In this context, it is concluded that right-based and inclusive religious approaches concerning disability need to be developed. Furthermore, it is of critical importance that religious institutions and structures providing religious education implement structural reforms to ensure the effective participation of individuals with disabilities in worship, education, and community life—both for the inclusivity of religious representation and the realization of social justice.
