The Deaf Woman Who Moved Sheikh Fahad Al-Kandari to Tears
Deaf Woman
My Life Before Islam
Rebecca Hussain was born deaf in Bangladesh and moved to the United States at the age of three. Her parents realized her complete disability and saw it as a divine test. She learned sign language and married a hearing man, but she struggled with the absence of Islamic education for the deaf. YouTube
The Moment of Guidance
She was first deeply affected by Surah Al-Fatiha, which she uses in dawah through sign language, creating goosebumps and tears among the deaf. Surahs Ar-Rahman and Al-Ikhlas also filled her heart with warmth despite her inability to hear. YouTube
Reflections
She founded an organization for the deaf, guided nine people to Islam through emotional sign language, and called for translators in mosques. She devoted effort to reciting the Qur'an despite the difficulty of pronunciation, moving Sheikh Fahad to tears and making him reflect on the blessings of Islam. YouTube
