A Unique Opportunity to Support Islamic Education in Sign Language


Bismillah! One year ago, with your support and ultimately by the will of Allah, Amin & Yasmin launched the world's first Islamic Sign Language Book & Flashcards which has now reached over 25 different countries alhamdulillah.

One year on, we are ready to embark onto the next chapter of our adventure, as we invite you to continue in our quest to spread signs and smiles with our exciting new campaign.

Did you know children with 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. Imagine giving the gift of a DUA to someone who has never been able to read or understand one before. Imagine inspiring a child about stories of the prophet through beautifully illustrated sign language books. Imagine the impact of empowering parents and families to learn and communicate with their child in sign language. With your kind support this can be a reality inshaAllah.

Leave a legacy and help us illustrate new prophetic storybooks featuring our signature style English, Arabic, and British Sign Language. Each page will be beautifully illustrated with carefully tailored sentences to deliver a fun, enriching and inclusive reader experience.


Enable us to create engaging new video tutorials to teach key Islamic vocabularly terms and phrases in Sign Language. The ajr (reward) will be immense as these interactive videos will be utilised by parents, families, schools/homeschoolers/scouts etc and will assist members of both the deaf and hearing community.


Sounds awesome right? InshaAllah with your humble support we intend to translate some essential daily duas and make them accessible in a BSL friendly format to help those with hearing impairments have a more meaningful connection with Allah.



We all strive for spiritual transformation and aim to become the best version of ourselves. 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 hadith into BSL. These meaningful hadith will be accompanied by short explanations to highlights the practical significance in our lives.


"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.



We want to make as much noise possible this Ramadan to raise Deaf Awareness through a dedicated social media campaign and series of workshops and assemblies with schools, scouts and other educational institutions. Help us inspire the next generation and empower the wider community.

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.

Support our close 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!

10 Blessed days of Dhul Hijjah

Bismillah, Assalamualykum...

When speaking about the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah The Prophet said: “There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.”– Bukhari.

Any act of goodness, including especially fasting & giving charity in these blessed days is highly rewarding. Try to give to as many different causes as you can even if it is a small amount inshaAllah.

Don't forget to check out our online shop which has 20% off all our products using the discount code "HAJJ18." Remember we also have a FREE summer activity book for children download yours by clicking the image below.

We wanted to leave you with some key dates so you can maximise and reap the rewards and humbly request your kind duas, for our intention & efforts to be accepted and our resources to continually reach & benefit those who require it. 

Abu Hafsah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said:

"Fasting on the Day of 'Arafah absolves the sins for two years: the previous year and the coming year, and fasting on 'Ashura, (the tenth day of Muharram) atones for the sins of previous years."

Thank You For Your Support - Ramadan Kareem


Assalamu’alaikum, 

We firstly wanted to say thank you for believing in us and helping to kick start our campaign. It really means a lot to us and sincerely appreciate your generosity. 

That awesome time of the year is upon us and we wanted to be the first to say Ramadan Kareem. We pray it is a blessed & productive month for you, full of spiritual harmony and barakah, and we make sincere dua that all your acts of worship are accepted and multiplied in rewards.

Alhamdulillah with your duas and support we launched our Deaf Awareness Campaign 2018 with a very special encounter with the President of Turkey H.E. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. 


Last year, we joined something called LaunchGood Ramadan Challenge. The concept is very cool and the challenge is simple;

  1. Set a daily amount you want to give during each day of Ramadan (could be as little as $2 or £2)
  2. The LaunchGood team will then automatically donate that amount on your behalf to an inspiring cause.
  3. Receive email notification each day letting you know where your money was spent.

We cannot describe how fun, easy, and impactful this challenge was and last year, 15,000 people joined and raised a staggering $1.7 million AllahuAkbar! Take part in this year and reap the benefits of Auto Ajr.


We wanted you to be the first to know that we will be releasing some exciting new videos soon on our YouTube channel so please do subscribe and stay tuned. You can also follow our journey through Facebook or Instagram.
