<p>Salams all.</p>
<p>The ISOC at db is kicking off our official fundraising campaigns this year by looking to support the outstanding work that Al-Isharah are doing with a very forgotten area of our community, those with hearing difficulties.</p>
<p>Al-Isharah are a small UK education charity based right around the corner in East London. They actively work through various programs to make Islam accessible for the deaf Muslim community here.</p>
<p>Some of their pioneering work thus far include:</p>
<p>- Running the first Jummah Khutbah using only british sign language</p>
<p>- Offering of Islamic classes for adults and children with hearing difficulties</p>
<p>- Providing fully accessible Umrah trips every year for deaf muslims</p>
<p>We would like to focus our campaign to contribute to their current need, which is for their "Deaf Deen: A Fard Ayn Islamic Studies for Deaf Course". This course is specifically designed to clarify the fundamentals of the Islamic faith to give confidence in practicing and participating in Islam.</p>
<p>Please find more details of fantastic activities that Al-Isharah are involved in at: <a href="http://alisharah.com/">http://alisharah.com/</a> .</p>
<p>We encourage you all to show your generousity towards this humble organisation that is attempting to make a real difference in the local community that we all live in.</p>
<p>JazakAllah khair for your support.</p>
<p>The ISOC team.</p>
