How to finish the Quran in Ramadan

The standard mushaf (Madinah print) has 604 pages in 30 juz'. Ramadan 2027 is expected to have 29 or 30 days, so one complete reading (khatmah) needs about 21 pages a day.

The easiest method: 4 pages after every prayer

Read 4 pages after each of the five prayers = 20 pages a day, about one juz'. Each sitting takes around 10–15 minutes. Add one extra page after Fajr and you will finish with a day or two to spare.

Choose your plan

• 1 khatmah: 21 pages a day (4 after each prayer + 1).
• 2 khatmahs: 42 pages a day, about 2 juz' (8 pages after each prayer + 2).
• 3 khatmahs: 63 pages a day, about 3 juz' (a juz' after Fajr, Asr and Isha).
• Busy parent plan: half a juz' (10 pages) a day = half the Quran in Ramadan; finish the rest in Shawwal.
• Understanding plan: one page a day with translation and short notes; slower, but you remember it.

Tips that actually help

• Start in Sha'ban with 2–4 pages a day so the habit is already there.
• Keep the mushaf where you pray (a prayer corner helps).
• Use dead time: commute audio, waiting rooms, the 15 minutes before iftar.
• If you fall behind, do not quit. Add 2 pages to each sitting until you catch up.
• Track it. A simple tick box per juz' keeps you honest.
