Hi (Salaam Alaykum)
I am very new to these online comuities and posting blogs or threads.
Currently I have found that there are no decent chat rooms to just general chat and share interests with one another regardless of age, gender or religion.
So I am having a go at posting a thread on here and see the outcome?
Anyway, I am deaf and a hearing aid user all of my life, what got me started is that in all my life I have never gone without the u[/I][/B][/FONT]se of my hearing aid, I have been totally dependent on it and ignorant to the deaf community due to my unbringing and influences from family members. Two months ago my hearing aid just fell apart on me in my hands::jaw: Ultimately leaving me in a panic state!! So much for the present NHS, years ago i could just walk in to the hospital clinic and would be seen to straight away, Now! I had to wait a month for my GP to refer me to hospital and the hospital cant see me until three months time!!!
So over these last few months i have been in total isolation, not being influenced in my younger days to learn sign language as I have always ignorantly relied on my hearing aid :roll: My only means of survival is my lip reading skills, my phone and my computer!
So thats about my present situation so far, the reason for my thread is twofold 1) I would like to learn more about the deaf community :roll: since I have been ignoring them for so long after being influenced to act "Normal" within normal society. 2) I am a muslim also, dont worry Im not some fanatical radic, I am very broad minded and not ignorant of other peoples faiths. It would be nice to know of other deaf muslims like myself, I was brought up catholic, married a born again pentecostal christian orphan, who was lead into islam and as I studied islam I followed and converted too.
One of my main peeves is that being muslim I have noticed a severe limitation in resourses not only for the deaf muslim community but also for anyone with any disabilities, because not only am I deaf but I suffere with physical disabilities too and the difficulties I have in obtaining information, education and even entering a mosque is profound and this has led me to much isolation. Since losing my hearing aid I have felt even more isolated and this has made me realise how so many people out there are ignorantly and maybe not deliberately being totally ignored and isolated from society on a grand scale!! This realisation had shocked me to the core and have become so frustrated, because not only is the Muslims community suffereing, but in all socieities and all faiths.
I feel a great burden within in me that so many people are suffering from isolation, and that this problem is on a grand scale, because it needs a great outreach from all walks of humanity to take this into account. I know there are many indviduals and charities that do try there best, but sadly there are still many wholes that need filling.
I live in the south east of london and regarding outreach for the deaf, disabled within the muslim community is seriously lacking, even for other walks of faith there is limited resourses. Because I feel such a burden within me I had post this thread and put my feelings and points across.
feel free to post your opinions back to me, i would love to hear from anyone relating to my topic.
