Deaf and blind people aren't tainted by all of these evil, unpleasant, mis-leading things that the rest of the world is bombarded with nearly every second of every day. Imagine how much more clear and unjaded the mind would be without hurtful words or disturbing visuals forced to be processed constantly.
We all have the ability to find spirituality within ourselves. The answers, and the paths. All societies are just so crudded with s*** that we aren't afforded the chance to do some true soul searching.
They will probably know "God", or whatever spiritual powers that may be, more than most any seeing or hearing man ever will.

Yes, they can. Among the Christian community, the deaf-blind are virtually an unreached people group with very little being done to evangelize them. Family members who have a deaf-blind individual in their family most often do not know how to relate to them, so they routinely institutionalize him. It is estimated that there are approximately one million deaf-blind in the US. Sixteen different forms of communication are used, with English and American Sign Language being the two main languages.
The nature of BMW's ministry to the deaf-blind in Los Angeles is to reach the deaf-blind with the gospel of Jesus Christ by establishing relationships where trust is built; by meeting personal needs; and by learning how to communicate with each individual. Due to the nature of their physical limitations, they are usually very cautious and strong-willed people. However, the constant display of love by gracious and committed believers breaks down the barriers, and Christ can be presented as the answer to their spiritual need. Through the years of faithful ministry a number of these have come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Hope this helps you!

God has given us a place where we know the knowledge of Him and His laws: the conscience. For it is not those who hear the law, that God will claim as righteous, but those who obey it (Romans 2:12-16, somewhere in there). Now comes the hard part. How will this person know about Jesus, who paid for this persons entry fee to heaven? I do not know, but will remain faithful that God will not let any of His children fall without knowing His son. Only God can provide this opportunity through His own people.

This is all a test for us, in this life its a test for each individual by God, we Muslims belive ALLAH tests us how we cope in this world like helping others, poverty, etc, if a person is blind or deaf, or both or has other disablities then its a test for other people of how we treat that person, that person who has disabiltity might already go haven when he or she dies, but that person is put on this earth to test ourseleves of how we cope with a person more unfourtanet then us.

Yes! It is possible.
But such a man's God will be very very different form our "conception" of God. In my personal opinion, I have a hunch that such a man who is not tainted by the scriptures will encounter the 'TRUE' God!
