Assalamu'alaykum,
Listening to the Qur'an being recited correctly is enough to soften even the hardest of hearts and Muslims and non-Muslims find it a deeply moving experience even if they do not understand what is being said. Many have become Muslim at the merely hearing a good Qari recite a portion of the Quran. We feel this even more in Ramadaan when we are in the Taraweeh prayers and we can really feel the difference if we go to a Masjid where the Tajweed rules of Qur'an recitation are not being observed as they should. Every single Muslim has to recite Qur'an in Salah and on a daily basis but many of us do not realise that reciting the Qur'an correctly is an obligation upon each and every one of us whenever we recite the Qur'an.
My intentions are not to underestimate anyone, but together, I feel we can work towards rectifying this aspect of our knowledge. I am hopeful it wil be a success and InshaAllah beneficial to you. I will start the lessons as soon as possible (on the request of some members) and continue them at my pace (due to final semester university commitments). This of course, is just the theory aspect to it; the practical part, which is equally important, you will need to practice on your own as we go along. I will consider finding audio resources or even making on our own. I look forward to your suggestions as I believe you have a lot to share.
