Tajweed
This competition will have only one winner (first place). Each person will be asked to read with tajweed a random passage from ANY part of the Quran. Judging will be based on proper pronunciation and enchanting (the way to recite with a rhythm, described in Surat 73. Al-Muzzammil, verse 4) 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.
Judging will be based on the following:
- Reading Category: Perfecting (mastering) the reading 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 place, judges will pick a verse of the Quran and competitors will have to derive all the tajweed rules that apply to that verse.
