Memorization
This competition will have 3 winners: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Each student will be asked to recite a number of passages from Juz Amma(30th) and Juz Tabarak(29th).
Judging will be based on the following:
- Recitation Category: Perfecting (mastering) the recitation process without committing mistakes in reciting the words and/or verses.
- Adaa (Performance) Category: Perfecting (mastering) the performance process. This category is a combination of both acquired skills that a person gains through proper training in addition to other qualities that are a gift from Allah (swt) (such as someone’s voice) that He alone gives to whomever He chooses.
- Tajweed (Recitation) category: Perfecting (mastering) the art of reciting the Qur’an by respecting the correct outputs of the alphabets, phonetics, timing, and applying all the rules of Tajweed.
Judging criteria will be based upon the official MIST National Ballot.
The brothers and sisters competition will be separate if at least five competitors are registered for the competition. If there are less than five competitors in either section then the competition will be merged.
No more than 2 male students and 2 female students from each team can register for this competition. This competition is NOT a team effort.
If there is a tie for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, judges will ask the competitors to recite another selection. If the tie continues, the competitors will be asked to explain a specific verse or surah from any of the 2 Ajiza'a (Chapters).
A ballot will be available soon. This ballot will be a guide to contestants who sign up for this competition. MIST reserves the right to change the ballot before the competition.
