Memorization, Tajweed, & Performance Grading
Judges will evaluate participants based on technical precision and artistic presentation. Scoring areas include: correct makharij (articulation points), proper application of tajweed rules (such as ghunnah, ikhfa, idgham, and qalqalah), fluency and flow of recitation, and overall accuracy. Scoring will reflect mistakes and immediate corrections made during the performance.
Beyond technical rules, judges grade on Adaa—the tone, humility, and performance. Please note that tajweed/makhaarij errors may affect the final score, however a bell will not sound.
