Enjoy Signing & Keep Smiling


We are about to launch the World's First Islamic Sign Language App and invite you to join our unique adventure, as we continue to spread the love of signs and smiles with our exciting new campaign.

Did you know children with special educational needs, and those experiencing language & communication barriers are twice as likely to experience anxiety, bullying, and depression due to social isolation when growing up. 

YOU can be part of the solution. Our pioneering app and new book series will help to bridge the communication gap and we need your generous support to help spread the word and succesfully launch. 

 Imagine the impact of empowering parents and families to learn and communicate with their child in sign language. We want to continually expand the vocabulary available in sign within our app and with your kind support this can be a reality inshaAllah.

Sounds awesome right? InshaAllah with your humble support we intend to provide additional essential daily duas and meanignful hadith to the ones we have currently in our app. We take inspiration from the best of mankind our beloved Prophet (PBUH) and his sayings (hadith).

Empower the deaf muslim community by supporting the translation of carefully selected duas and hadith into BSL. Your support will enable us to translate, film, and edit meaningful content as a legacy...

"A deaf person is twice as likely to experience anxiety, stress and suffer from depression as a result of social isolation and communication barriers growing up." (World Health Organisation)

We want to bridge the communication gap by creating new animations of Islamic signs and conversational signs that will help improve everyday interactions of deaf Muslims and the wider public. These unique animations will be made available via our exclusive app which is currently in development.


Help us with the maintenance & marketing costs associated with the app so that it remains FREE for all users around the world to benefit continually.

Keen to learn basic sign language?

Assalamualaikum

We hope this email reaches you in the best of health.

We are delighted to share with you our new unique video course introducing you to basic British Sign Language BSL

We take you on an interactive journey covering 15 essential topics for everyday situations. This bitesize video series is suitable for all members of the family, teachers, support staff, social workers, youth workers, homeschoolers, scout leaders and anyone with a basic interest in BSL or existing student looking to refresh their skills.

The entire course is shot in beautiful HD resolution and all our videos include close captioning and colourful images to assist your learning even if you're deaf or hard of hearing. Each topic has been intentionally made short and sharp allowing you to pause, practice and repeat all over again. Ideal interactive learning whether you are delivering a mini workshop, assembly or an extracurricular activity in class or at home. 

Learning BSL enriches and enhances your cognitive processes: higher abstract and creative thinking, better problem-solving, greater cognitive flexibility, and also promotes cultural awareness, literacy, and other intellectual benefits

With Over 145,000 Deaf People in the UK...How Can You Make a Difference?

  • Do you have a deaf friend or family member that you’d love to be able to use sign language with?
  • Have you yourself suffered hearing loss and are struggling to communicate with the outside world?
  • Do you work with deaf or hearing-impaired people and feel inadequate when you are unable to interact with them?
  • Do you want to become a more caring and inclusive member of society?

All too often, deaf and hearing-impaired people are overlooked, and struggle to communicate with a world that doesn’t speak their language. Today we offering you the opportunity to make a difference in your life and the lives of others by learning the basics of BSL (British Sign Language), so you can start to communicate on a more personal level with the deaf community and play a fuller part in society.

  • Increased Brain Functionality - Learning any new language has huge benefits for your brain's functionality; it challenges your brain to  recognise and negotiate meaning, a skill which can be translated across many problem-solving tasks.
  • Multitasking Skills - For people, and children, who learn Sign Language they improve their ability to be able to switch between tasks. This is due to being able to switch between different structures easily. Previous studies have even proven that people who are multilingual make fewer errors when driving. 
  • Improved Memory - The brain has often been compared to a muscle, because it functions better with exercise. Learning BSL involves a lot of memorising and has often been proven to improve a person's long term memory. For a child who is learning British Sign Language, they are likely to find improved performance in other academic areas. 
  • Easier to Learn Another Language - The acquisition techniques you gain whilst learning British Sign Language can be applied to learning any new language. The many positive cognitive benefits can be replicated along the process of learning further languages.

We look forward to your custom and invite you to join our journey.

HAJJ MUBARAK - Support Deaf Muslims in these blessed 10 Days

Assalamualaikum

We pray this email reaches you in the best of health and emaan.

In Ramadan, mashallah you helped us bridge the gap between an idea and a reality. Alhamdulillah with your duas and donations we have been busy in the background developing new islamic signs, designing and illustrating exclusive content for the World's First Prophetic Story Book series featuring Islamic Sign Language. 

We have almost completed book 3, and need your support in these blessed days of Dhul Hijjah to commence the content creation for book 4 and 5 insha'Allah. All we ask of you is to make dua for our success and growth and encourage your friends and family to join our journey by kindly making a small contribution here: www.launchgood.com/islamicsignstory

In the meantime we would like to share the reminders below as we found it very beneficial and want to race with you all the way to Jannah. Feel free to share...

Help our friends BarakahBox & QuranMoonLamp

Assalamualykum

We’re well underway now into Ramadan, right? The first ten days passed in a mixture of excitement and perhaps some apprehension as we got used to fasting - and a lot of sharing of advice, articles, duas, stories and notes on how to make the most of this holy month - prayers to say, lectures to listen too, Quran apps to make our reading easier.

But now the challenging part of Ramadan begins - the second ten days. These are the Days of Forgiveness.

Just because, perhaps, things didn’t go according to plan during the first ten days doesn’t mean all is lost for the second ten days and the last ten days of Ramadan. Remember, we are in the Days of Forgiveness now. It’s never too late to start afresh, to seek forgiveness. Allah (S) is waiting for us to come to Him, even if it’s well into the month.

This is a time to regroup, to renew your intentions, to dig deep and give into the uncomfortable parts of fasting - the parts which pushes us to dig deep, worship more, appreciate our blessings and reflect upon why we fast.

At the beginning of the month you did something incredible and helped us win a Ramadan Challenge day competition. Next Thursday 30th May we will be participating again to support the growth and development of our sign language app 'iSAY.'  

However, tomorrow (Thurs 23rd May) we wanted to ask for your humble generosity again to support our friends BarakahBox & QuranMoonLamp.

May Allah increase us in our generosity, and may He increase His generosity upon us!



Aminul Hoque5 years ago

Alhamdulillah we did it!


Assalamualykum 

Alhamdulillah as we end another  day of fasting and the first Friday of this blessed month we wanted to share some great news! YOU made dua and donated yesterday and today we have won mashaAllah. We had the most number of unique donors in 24hrs. This awesome boost of $5000 will help us continue to illustrate and publish our much anticipated Prophetic book series in sign language.

We sincerely value and appreciate this amazing support and invite you to 'race us to jannah' by taking advantage of the multiplied rewards of this blessed month. Here are some really special campaigns close to our heart below and invite you at your own comfort and intrigue to explore and support them insha'Allah. 

Some of these projects will be taking part in the Ramadan Boost Competitions and we will send one weekly email sharing these details on the day they take part. You are welcome to donate and/or simply help by spreading the word. (More good deeds = More rewards)


JazakaAllah Khairan
