Excellent idea, may Allah bless this effort.

Assalam alaykoum Wa Rahmatollahi Wa Barakatouh!

Let’s count me as a part of the Silent Dawah Drive (beside nice name!)!

Barakallahofikoum.

May Allah have mercy on all of us and grant us more iman to help those who need us. I grew up with a deaf friend who taught me the sign for “friend” and taught me how to be a better friend. Let’s be a friend to our brothers and sisters who need this service.

Do we have a global sign language for the impaired, I see in Nigeria the Deaf use a different sign language than the one I see in the international media. Dont forget there are literates and illiterates

Assalaamu aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

I am emailing about joining the transcription team, insha’Allah! I have some small previous experience with transcription and can proofread as well. So excited to be part of this drive!

as-salaamu`aleykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatu

I would like to join ‘Project Sign Islaam’ insha’allah

@Zakariya:

Do we have a global sign language for the impaired

There is a kind of international sign language in the works, but it is a pidgun language, i.e., not an official language per se; especially when compared to the native forms of SL, such as British SL, American SL, Australian SL, etc. In addition, I am not sure how many people actually know Int. SL.

Hope and pray this effort grows and is accepted by Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala.

Asalaamu alaykum,

Mashallah great work. I would love to help by transcribing lectures.

Assalaamualaykum

Sounds great, i wanna join!!

Make a video for this campaign insha’Allah

As salamu alaykum,

Masha’Allah, this drive is great. Both Sign Labs and al-Qasas are two wonderful projects that need your help. Please sign up and help countless Muslims through these two unique services.

I’ll join

inshaAllah i want to join

salam alaikum,

alhamdulilah its good to see the involvement in things that are sometime pushed aside because of it not being a priority agenda.

Its a good cause to support. The smaller institutions and orgs also need support.

Jazak-AllahKhair

Assalamualaykum,

I would love to join, count me in the transcription team!

Assalam o alaikum
inshaAllah I’ll participate in all your projects.. may Allah swt expand our platform

Asalaamu alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu…

Please give me this opportunity to join this beneficial program. I would like to help the hearing impaired Muslims read what the scholars of Islam teach us. I am a college graduate and willing to help this cause. I appreciate your time and offer. Hope to hear from you soon. Asalaamu ‘alaikum

Your Brother in Al-Islam,

Farhat

pretty cool quiz, be sure to take it all, InshAllah

could be quite benefical for some people
also, may Allah(SWT) guide all our deaf brothers and sisters with Jennah-Ameen

May Allah help all our Deaf/deaf brothers and sisters.

Thank you so much for this great drive.

As salaamua aalaykum,

Spanish is my first language so if you guys need it in Spanish am here. inshaAllah.

As salaamu alaykum warahmatullaahi wabarakatuhu!

Masha Allaah Tabarakallaah!

May Allaah bless all your efforts with the best station in paradise, Allaahuma amin.

About the transcription details, I’d like to know more about it. I’ve been interested in knowing more about medical transcription so that I could work from home and spend more time with my family. But now that I know about this transcription service for our deaf Muslim brothers and sisters (and most likely children included) I feel more compelled to become a transcriptionist just for this service. That is not to say that medical transcription is not important for those who want to venture into it especially stay-at-home sisters and mothers. However, our deaf Muslim brethen need our services first and foremost because their situation is more critical( they are all yearning for the al akheerah through Islamic education)

May Alllaah azza wa jalal, bless all your gifted and talented hearts, Allaahuma amin!

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum w/R w/B. =)

Ditto to all the comments.

As-salaam ‘alaykum Warahmatullah,

I have seen many many support groups/organizations that are working for numerous amazing causes, but this one is truly one of a kind and tops off many. Insha’Allah any thing I can do to support… I’m in!
May Allah accept and reward the intentions and the good work.

let’s all learn sign language…how do u say Allah in sign languagE?

Subhanallah I would see the reverts taking so enthusiastically to Islam and wonder on how Allah changes the hearts of those who take steps towards Him. And then this drive comes around – and makes you gasp at the sheer greatness of Allah. Here are people who did not hear the bible thumpers or hallelujahs in the christian congregations and neither did they hear that winning argument given by an Islamic scholar but yet they believe in Allah!!! How remarkable they are and how great is the glory of Allah SWT.

I ask Allah to reward all those who helped. Especially, our deaf brothers and sisters.

May Allah gather us under His shade.

may allah reward all those involved in halfdate, with the highest of jannah!! mau he protect us all from the evils of this life nad the next!!! ameen!!!!!

May Allah reward you all!

Mashallah, this was a very tghoughtful drive, and made me aware of the deaf muslim community, (the blind muslim community is well-known due to saut-un-nur). inshallah when i am older i will be able to donate monetarily to the drives, but for now its just comments and polls and surveys from me.
Shukran.
Btw, i think there should be a better intro to the website, as at first i didnt know what it was all about.(i thought it was just like a joke!), Also there should be a draft E-mail we can send out to others, because i don’t know what 2 write!
Wassalam

Wow, didn’t know that Deaf and deaf have different meanings.

Thanks for the info

Asalam Alaikum to my brothers and sisters in Islam,

I wish I could donate some money, however, I’m only in the position to give some dua’s to all the muslims who are striving hard to spread goodness in this world. These people are working day and night behind the scenes, doing jihad, so that many needy people around the world can have a better life.

So my Salams and Duas to all my muslim brothers and sisters who are striving hard. May Allah SWT unite the Ummah for the betterment of mankind. InshAllah.

salaam alaikum brothers and sisters!!!!!
jazakallah khairan for coming up withsuchgood ideas and doing dawah not to just the majority of people who have no problems but to people who have needs like the deaf!!! this is very much appreciated!!!! may allah shower all those involved with blessings!!!! ameen!!!!!
wassalaam!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mashallah, a successful drive, to help our deaf muslim Brothers and Sisters.
Inshallah, Allah will reward all those involved. (even those of us that just did the survey and commented!) Ameen!
Wassalam

Just learned the difference between Deaf & deaf.
Great to know that the drive was a success, alhumdullilah.

Btw, the new signature “Tamra ibn Khajoor” is crackin hilarious! (now thats taking ‘dates’ to a new level).

May Allah reward everyone involved. Insha-Allah, I will try to contribute in whatever way I can later in the year.

asalaam o alaikum wa rehmatullahi wabarakatuhu
i would just like to say have sabr in this world and Allah subhanahu wata’ala will reward you more than you can think of in this world and in the hereafter. Inshallah. All we have to do is keep hold of our imaan and inshallah Allah subhanahu wata’ala will make it easy for us. Ameen

Oh Allah! Bestow on us endurance and make our foothold sure and give us help against those who reject faith. ameen

Salaam Alaikum,Allah has made this whole Half Date project,subhannalah may Allah guide people to truth, and inshallah, i also hope that this this helped alot of people, and May Allah (swt) reward you all(everyone) who helped in with this project. Walaikum Salaam.

Assalamu alaykum! May Allah reward u all 4 ur efforts and may Allah give us the taufeeq to continue to help spread goodness in the world ameen!

Masha Allah..

Lets do our best….. may Allah Azzawajjal guide us and save us from all evils…

Subha’nallah you guys secured more volunteers than your original quota of 35 members! May Allah swt reward all those behind Al Qasas, Halfdate and signslab and even the brothers and sisters willing to help out.

Jazakumallah khair everyone for your kind words! Ameen to all the beautiful aadiyah. Please join the SignLabs mailing list so we can inform you of future initiatives and training material as soon as it is ready to go, insha’Allah.
