Excellent idea, may Allah bless this effort.

Asalaamu Alaaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu!

Alhamdulilah, I am already on the Al-Qasas team, May Allah reward them, ameen

Your Sister Anisa

Assalam alaykoum Wa Rahmatollahi Wa Barakatouh!

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

Barakallahofikoum.

yes i would love to join ^_^ insha allah

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.

Assalamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah

Jazakallah to HalfDate for promoting our campaign… it’s an ongoing venture, so everyone, please continue to support us with your time and attention, in whatever way you can afford.

Also, check out our other projects that aim to help people learn to sign… even if you are not from the UK, we are willing to help people from other countries to set up similar schemes in their area. E.g., signlabs.org/fr, signlabs.org/de…etc etc. We just need local teams… so do get in touch, insha’Allah.

Btw, apologies if you have attempted to contact the transcription team, but had your e-mail bounce… silly me gave out the wrong address. It should have been transcribe[at]signlabs.org. ‘Transcription’ or ‘transcribe’ should both now work… but if you still have trouble, use our contact page.

Okay, long comment… thanks again everyone. We at SignLabs.org & Al-Qasas really appreciate HalfDate.com and its members! May Allah bless you all! Ameen.

Wa’salam

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 ‘alaikum

InshaAllah I would like to join!

Assalaamu aleykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

@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.

Allah akbar!!

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

Asalamu Alaikum,

This Jummah the Khateeb told me about Half-Date, and I would like to assist in its Sadaqah endeavors. I have transcribed in the past, can I still help?

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.

assalamalaikum, i would like to sign up although i dont know any hearing impaired brothers and sisters, also i would like to fill up the survey but i couldnt find it.

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

As salamu alaykum,

Everyone who has joined and is looking to join al-Qasas to help those who are hearing impaired. I would like to inform you that the al-Qasas audience reaches out to every Muslim, insha’Allah. Our service will not only provide alternatives to listening and provide subtitles for videos, but we will be preparing means to enhance learning, prepare khutbahs, study guides, tests & quiz’s. We will have al-Qasas Action Points to show how one can implement the ‘ilm they have gained and so much more.

And everyone who joins al-Qasas no matter how much time they commit to us must work with ihsaan. The heights this project can reach are great, bi idhnillah. You’re joining the al-Qasas family so be prepared to be the best in what you do!

Barak’Allahu feek.

al-Qasas

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

Thank you so much for this great drive.

asalaamu 3alaykum,
i don’t know how to sign but if this is going to help our ummah, then may allah s.w.t. help this effort.

As salaamua aalaykum,

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

Asalaamu Alaaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatu!
JazakumuLlahu khayir!

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!

Assalaam aleykum wr wb

May Allah protect our brothers and sisters who are unable to hear. May Allah shower them with HIS mercy and forgiveness…

As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum w/R w/B. =)

Ditto to all the comments.

Thank you so much for all our supporters.

May Allah reward you all .

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.

I would love to join the transcription team. Please sign me up and may Allah reward everyone involved in this awesome effort!

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

@Muslimah: I am not sure if it is the same in all forms of sign language, but in BSL, the sign for Allah is closing your fist, elevating your hand around head level, and pointing your index finger towards the sky. Like you’re communicating the Oneness of God, whilst also indicating His Greatness above us all. One example of how the power of sign lies in its succinctness, masha’Allah.

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.

As salamu alaykum,

Sister Maryam an earlier post I made describes the crux of the project, insha’Allah.

If you haven’t already joined and are still interested please send us an email.

Barak’Allahu feekum

al-Qasas

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

May Allah gather us under His shade.

May Allah bless you all!
I’m so happy of being here with you today, just started checking the signs!
from a new sister

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!!!!!

Salaamu alaykum wa rahmaullahi wa barakatuh

Subhannallah! May Allah bless this ummah with the taqwa that is needed. May He reward those who strive in His cause and those that seek His pleasure in varying ways. The deaf brothers and sisters are truly our mirrors that are spoken about in the hadith, reminds us of the infinite Mercies and bounties that are bestowed upon us daily….may we be the grateful servants that we should be. Ameen.

May Allah reward you all!

We thank the Almighty Allah (SWT) that has blessed us with the opportunity to make the deaf understand without ears and the blind to learn without eyes. May the Almighty continue to guide and bless us. May Allah guide us here and the hereafter.

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

SubhanAllah great work is being done by fellow brothers and sisters in regards to promoting needed attention of the deaf muslims and blind muslims aswell. I will make dua for this drive and others drives that i hope inshallah i will be part of actively.

Wasalam

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

Thanks for the info

Al- Sami will hear all of our silence as Allah will know all the good we do for our Brothers & Sisters. Our hearts will open, insh’Allah.

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.

salam aleikom wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh

Assalam Alaikum Warahmatullah,

This site is timely and beneficial not only issues relating to the disabled but for all of us. Yesterday in the Masjid somebody stood up and enlightened us on how some people are leaving islam for lack of knowlege (Subhanalillah). This is an opportunity to really do Daawah.

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

Asalamualaikum waramotullah wabarakatuh,
My last comment would be that I pray to Almighty Allah to continue to grant us strenght in order to help his cause, this cause and any of his causes for that matter. Also, if there is any way I can donate any little penny kindly let me know. All of you guys are very much appreciated.
Masalam

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.

A great effort

May Allah SWT bring great success to this project and all those who are involved (using it and helping out)

Waslaam

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

Alhamdulillah, it looks like we are all to a wonderful start. I hope and pray all the volunteers will continue to be motivated long after this initial spurt, inshaAllah.

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

Assalamu’alaikum wbt,

May Allah SWT reward everyone involved in the Silent Dawah Drive as well as HalfDate inshaAllah.

I am sure the rewards reaped inshaAllah are well worth the time & effort fueled by those involved.

InshaAllah I will participate in the upcoming projects.

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.
