Qualified muʾadhdhin rota & sound check
This criterion assesses whether the organization maintains a rotation of qualified muʾadhdhins (callers to prayer) and conducts regular sound checks to ensure optimal audio quality. It evaluates the organization's commitment to excellence in the adhān (call to prayer) through proper training, scheduling, and technical support. Anchored in the Qur’anic emphasis on the public call to prayer (62:9) and excellence in speech (41:33), it recognizes the adhān as a spiritual practice, a public representation of the community (shiʿār), and a call to be answered. Neighbor rights (la ḍarar) and moderation in voice inform external volume and timing choices, applying the principle of al-umūr bi-maqāsidihā (matters are judged by their objectives) to ensure the call is dignified without causing harm.
