In-shaa-Allah, we will have a Quran competition during the monthly dinner this January. The event will be on Saturday the 30th. Registration for the competition is mandatory and can be done online only and the link is in our website. For your convenience, here is a direct link to the registration page. Do not reply to this email and request for registration. The DEADLINE for registration is Friday the 22nd of January without any exceptions.
The competition is open for all children ages 5 through 16. Age groups will be 5-7, 8-10, 11-13 and 14-16 for the non-hifz group. For hifz students, there will be 4 categories: less than 1/4th of the Quran memorized, 1/4-1/2 Quran memorized, 1/2 to 3/4 memorized and 3/4 to the entire Quran memorized.
All children in the non-hifz group will be given 1 minute to recite what they have prepared. A buzzer will sound at the end of one minute. The child will be allowed 5 to 7 seconds to complete the ayah that he or she is reciting. If the child goes more than 10 seconds beyond the time allowed, he/she will be disqualified.
Hifz program participants will be given a maximum of 3 minutes. The 10 second overage rule applies to them as well. This group will be asked questions from the parts that they know.
Children will be judged on their memorization, flow and melody of recitation, confidence and Tajweed. Ages 5-7 will receive 50% of their score for memorization and 50% for their confidence and flow. Ages 8-10 will receive 40 percent for memorization, 40 percent for melody/confidence/flow and 20 percent for Tajweed. Ages 11 and above will receive 40% for memorization, 30 percent for Tajweed, 15% for melody of recitation and 15% for confidence. The hifz students will receive 40% for their memorization, 40% for their tajweed and 20% for melody/flow.
The judges will score according to their perception and a cumulative between three judges will result in the final score.
The organizing committee's decision will be final in all matters. Please do not dispute on any matter during the event.
Parents of group 1 are allowed to be with the child if they feel that it will facilitate their child's performance. You may sit by the child, but may not help with the recitation.
In-shaa-Allah, the program will start immediately after Salatul-'Asr at 4:00 PM. All participants are required to be present immediately after salatul-'Asr. Age group 5-7 may arrive at Salatul Magrib.
Prizes will be distributed after dinner and before the desserts In-shaa-Allah. Prizes will also be distributed for the Badminton competition at this time In-shaa-Allah.
