Digital copies of the Holy Quran in sign language are distributed in Jordan’s Rasifa Province as of today, April 14.

Aiman Raba director of the province’s development office will officiate the ceremony.
The copies, that are designed for the hearing-impaired, feature Quranic verses in sign language as well as pictures related to the content of the verses.
They are given to the hearing-impaired in CD format.
Sign language is a language which, instead of acoustically conveyed sound patterns, uses hand shapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to convey meaning.
