Other Languages

Salah Short Course is extremely useful for every Muslim child or adult.  Almost every Muslim knows how to pray, whatever his mother tongue is.  So, in principle, we need to translate this course into almost all the world languages minus Arabic!!!  However, we want to start with those languages that are spoken or understood by a large number of Muslims (in addition to English and other languages for which we already have some material):

1. Bengali

2. Indonesian

3. Chinese

4. Turkish

5. Malaysian

6. French

7. German

8. Howsa

If you know a certain language and would like to translate into it, then please download the following files and just replace English text with that of your language.  Allah subha-nahu-wa-ta-‘aala (SWT) will reward you abundantly for spreading the message of the Qur’an.  If you can not do that yourself, then the easiest way to do that is to pay the people involved in this work.  Don’t expect others to be as motivated as you are (in case you like this approach and want others to do the translation work).  Each one has his own projects.  Therefore, to get it easily done is to sponsor the work financially.  If you can not sponsor the work full time, then get some friends to help you do that.  This may require: 

• Find out an Islamic scholar in that language and ask him to translate the short course materials (textbook, workbook, vocabulary card, poster, and the ppt files).  Make sure to pay him overtime for the translation work. 

• Ask him to understand the English lessons and deliver the lectures in to that language.  Arrange a video recorder (now available for less than 500 dollars!) and download the video files on Windows Movie Maker (that comes with every Microsoft Windows).  You can edit the video clips for any corrections.

• Get a good Qari and ask him to recite Qur’an along with a good reader in your language.  Both can sit together and then record Word-for-Word recording.

Rearrange the Vocab List according to the following Excel sheet and we will inshaAllah have the “Game” ready for you in that language.
