# **Introduction**

In 2000 I graduated from Wolverhampton collage with a British signal Language/English analyzing measure. i've got given that certified as a Registered signal Language Interpreter (RSLI) and paintings in numerous settings in the mainstream Deaf neighborhood.
However, as well as this i've got the original place of being the one British Asian, Muslim-born, male RSLI within the united kingdom so far. this is often super infrequent yet has enabled me to develop into extra concerned with the Deaf Muslim group as a British signal Language (BSL) Interpreter with extra language and cultural abilities. those exact talents enable me to at the same time interpret among Arabic and Urdu as well as BSL and English.

It has additionally driven me to increase and supply a carrier for the availability of the Umrah,the Holy pilgrimage to Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. this can be a specific and hugely specialized, bespoke provider geared toward Deaf Muslims who're then given overall inclusion and whole entry, all through, through BSL, the Deaf members first language.

However, an entire loss of this specialized conversation provision is among the greatest stumbling blocks confronted via Deaf Muslims, within the united kingdom this present day, to gaining access to any Islamic schooling. Having an interpreter with the best language talents, non secular and cultural wisdom might let the service-user to entry their faith and therefore start to shape an Islamic id also.

This paintings goals to supply an perception into those complexities skilled by means of the UK's Deaf Muslim group in 2014. it's going to bring up issues of shock, curiosity and total know-how. it is going to study the problems and boundaries they adventure, what the results are, what the effect of this is often and what concerns can be made for any destiny provision.

There are many contributing components together with an absence of: entry to bi/trilingual modes of communique, investment, properly certified execs and the social influence at the domestic & relatives atmosphere, etc... All of those upload to making not just isolation from the remainder of the Muslim neighborhood but additionally the shortcoming of an Islamic identity.
