Dar al-Tarjama cooperates Dar Al-Ifta’a - Cairo:

It is an Honor to deliver to you this wonderful news and in such blessed days before Ramadan.  DAT started its cooperation with Dar Al-Ifata' of Egypt.  Through this cooperation DAT is to translate Dar Al-Ifata' website: http://dar-alifta.com/  into four languages; English, French, German and Spanish.

The first meeting held was on the 29^th August 2005, in Dar Al-Ifta's premises.  The meeting included Dr. Ali Goma'a the Mufti of Egypt, his secretary, Nermeen Hussein, and Marwa Madian, from DAT. 

The texts to be translated go under three main categories:

1-     Translation of the huge database of Fatawa. 

2-    Translation of Researches.

3-    Translation of statements that are mainly addressing non-Muslims, answering their questions or refuting their claims. 

Our cooperation is totally voluntary, yet we can all imagine the thawab we will gain ISA.  Not to mention the credibility and authenticity DAT will gain ISA upon such a cooperation with the second most supreme Islamic authority in Egypt, after Al-Azhar.

Dar al-Tarjama cooperates with the Intl’ Commission for Scientific Signs in Qur’an & Sunnah:

An agreement was concluded between both the Intl’ Commission for Scientific Signs in Qur’an and Sunnah and Dar al-Tarjama, in the presence of Dr. Refaat al-Awady (head of the Cairo office).

The commission would like to translate their website www.nooran.org

into more than one language, starting with; English, French and German then extending later on to include; Spanish, Italian, Chinese.. etc. The head office of the commission (based in Saudi Arabia) will fund this project through paying agreed amounts to the translators as well as the proofreaders, in addition to other additional benefits.

It was also agreed that Dar al-Tarjama will be responsible for testing any applicants who would be interested in translating (from outside Dar al-Tarjama members). Hence Dar al-Tarjama will run the whole translation operation and will be responsible for the final quality of the work presented to the commission.

It was agreed that CIMS will print all the material translated by Dar al-Tarjama to distribute them over the foreigners inside and outside Egypt, bearing the full costs incurred. These texts will be distributed for the sake of Allah, that’s to say, they won’t be sold or otherwise used for generating any profits.
