Özet

This study investigated certain criteria involved in the different ways the imam and muezzin recite the Adhan (Call to Prayer) in Turkish culture. This descriptive research uses a causal-comparative model. A systematic sampling method was used in this study to look at 100 adhan recordings that are used by the imams and muezzins in 20 mosques of Battalgazi and Yeşilyurt in Malatya province. During the data-gathering phase, each adhan time was recorded separately by going to the mosques and identifying the imams and muezzins. An Adhan Reading Performance Assessment Form was used to assess their reading performance. It has been concluded that appropriate adhan reading levels are often too low. The study also investigated the most preferred makams: sabâ makam at fajr, the hicaz and uşşak makam at dhuhr, the rast makam at asr, the segâh makam at maghrib and the hicaz makam at isha. given the choice of makam, regardless of time, it was found that the hicaz makam was preferred the most. according to the makam, and appropriate reading levels for the adhan, significant differences were revealed in the makam for the sabâ makam.
