The Importance of Reciting Quran with Heart and Understanding

This session is an introduction; a full program starts next week.
Recitation aims to inspire, not to show off, even if one is not a professional qari.
Recite Quran with sincerity to develop love for Allah's words.
Allah's creation (mountains, rivers, oceans, skies, etc.) displays immense beauty and diversity.
If Allah's creation is so beautiful, the Quran itself, being Allah's words, holds an even greater, unimaginable beauty.
Use the best tone Allah has blessed you with when reciting, avoid a flat delivery, but do not strictly imitate others.
The goal of recitation is to inspire oneself and others to connect with and love the Quran.
