Good Deed Friday: Sign Language Interpreters for Tarawih

Islam for Deaf have proposed the first tarawih prayer in British Sign Language (BSL) using qualified and registered Muslim Interpreters.  The prayers will take place throughout the month of Ramadan at Central London masjid with translation from Arabic to English and then English to BSL.

To make this happen Islam for Deaf need to raise £8,500 to pay for the Arabic translators and the BSL interpreters.

The video below provides more details.  The young man in the video is my lovely sister-in-law's brother and one of the nicest, kindest people I have ever met.  I absolutely love this initiative and would encourage everyone to take a look and try and support in any way that they can.

The tarawih for the deaf will be streamed live on the Islam for Deaf website and YouTube channel for the global deaf community to benefit from. The recording will be of the first ever Qur’an in BSL insh'Allah.

Please do visit the website and donate what you can to make this happen this Ramadan.  You can also donate via the Go Fund Me page here insh'Allah, where you can leave a message of support too.
