Koran by Heart
Posted: 22 Jul 2012, 05:30
HBO have made a documentary about quran hifdh done by children from all around the world and participating in a competition in Cairo held during Ramadhan.
110 kids from the Islamic world are chosen and arrive in Cairo for the world's oldest Koran reciting contest. Koran By Heart follows two boys from Senegal and Tajikistan, and a little girl from Maldives - who go head-to-head with kids nearly twice their age in the pronunciation, recitation and perfected memorization of the Qur'an.
It's a very well made documentary that explores religious toleration and shows us the different muslims' cultures.
The film has had an unexpected positive response from the non-muslim community whilst also winning a few awards.
