Quran Reading Schedule – PDF Document

Ibn Mas’ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (May Allah exalt his mention and protect him from imperfection) said: “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.” (At-Tirmidhi)

Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (May Allah exalt his mention and protect him from imperfection) said: “The one who was devoted to the Quran will be told on the Day of Resurrection: ‘Recite and ascend (in ranks) as you used to recite when you were in the world. Your rank will be at the last Ayah you recite.'” (Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi)

Commentary:
No one can ignore the benefits of Quranic reading. To simplify the division of this reading and ensure that everyone can complete the Quran in its entirety by the end of Ramadan, a timetable has been crafted for men and women*.

*Because women may have missed days of fasting during Ramadan, the division was spread over 20 days, at 3 hizb per day, leaving them with a sufficient margin in case of a temporary interruption of their month. It is indeed better to set a reading pace of 3 hizb per day instead of trying to catch up 5-6 days of readings.

  3. Hello I am a new convert to Islam and this will be my first Ramadan. Looking forward to it as well. I also discovered that we are to read the whole Quran in those 30 days. This was a great page for me to find and it helped me alot. I also downloaded the Athan app on my phone. It has the juz in there and also teaches me how to do the readings everyday. Thank you for providing this information. Barakallah

    • Salam Aleikum. You can read the Koran in any manner including whole suras if you like. This is just a suggested division to fit the whole Koran inchaAllah in one month.

  5. The schedule for women is strange. Who came up with it? If a woman misses a few days she will return to wherever she last read and know to do extra if necessary. People can now read Quran online or listen to recitation without any physical contact with the actual Book.
