Hezzab

[1] Mosques in Algeria recruit several hezzabine as salaried employees responsible for reciting the Hizb Rateb on a daily basis, as well as the Salka periodically, under the supervision of a Bash Hezzab.

[6][7] When accomplishing the Tilawa, the condition of memorizing the entire Quran is because it is not suitable and acceptable for him to read from the Mus'haf while he leads the group of readers (Arabic: ناس الحضور) and directing them at the same time.

[8] It is good for him to obtain a Quran Idjaza from an accredited body such as a zawiya or an Islamic institute to prove his merit for the position and religious responsibility.

[9] And he must possess a strong vocal layer that allows him to dominate the voice over the entirety of the qāriʾs during the Hizb Rateb recitation.

[10] This is because the reading stations of the hezzab make its circle attractive, and dozens or even hundreds of worshipers visit the mosque for the daily participation in this collective recitation.
