Quran in Sign Language Distributed in Jordan

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

The distribution will begin at 2 pm on Saturday, in a ceremony to be held at Al-Isala Hall, the office of Jordan’s Quran Protection Society announced, according to a report carried by As-Sabil daily.
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.
