I’m looking for good ways to introduce undergrads to tajwid (Qurʾanic recitation). I used to assign the documentary “Koran by Heart” (2011), but it feels dated now. Can anyone recommend materials (esp. videos or films) for talking about tajwid in an intro undergrad course?

@eric_calderwood @RachelSchine My classes are almost all Muslim students! I play female reciters to start conversations... but I ask them for their favorites to kick things off

COLD TAKE: Snowfall is not "bad" weather. Quit talking about how bad the storm is going to be and start talking about how good it's going to be.
