The holy month of Ramadan is the most spiritually significant time of the Islamic year for Muslims worldwide. It’s the month dedicated to fasting, also known as Sawm, which is the Third Pillar of Islam, alongside other acts of worship, to build resilience and show devotion to Allah (SWT). This means that Muslims spend more time in prayer, reflection and giving to others to cleanse their hearts, eradicate past sins and please Allah (SWT) to earn rewards from Him.
Ramadan is also a time for increased Quran recitation because it’s the month when the Angel Jibril revealed the first verses of the Holy Book to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This occurred toward the end of the month, which makes the last 10 days even more powerful and is known as Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Power).
Since the Quran was revealed during the month, reading the Quran in Ramadan forms a very special and important part of a Muslim’s worship. Many believers strive to complete the Quran during the month to strengthen their faith and reflect on Allah’s words. If you are looking to complete the Quran in Ramadan 2027, having a realistic plan can help you achieve your goal. To help you create the best reading plan, we’ve created this guide that divides the reading across the 30 days to help you complete the Holy Book and earn immense rewards.
The Quran and Ramadan are closely connected because the first verses of the Holy Book were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during the blessed month. This makes the month extra special and spiritually significant. In the Quran, Allah (SWT) states:
“The month of Ramadan is that in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.”
Quran 2:185
These verses are what created the values of Islam that we know today and spread Allah’s word, creating a unified ummah and setting the core pillars and values to strive toward. The revelation that began Islam as we know it today, happened during the last 10 nights of the holy month (known as Laylat al-Qadr – the Night of Power) and is even more significant than the entire month. Muslims are encouraged to seek Laylat al-Qadr during the last 10 nights to earn multiplied rewards that are worth more than a thousand months!
This means that the entire month of Ramadan is the perfect opportunity for Muslims to spend more time reading, listening to, understanding and reflecting on the Quran. By dedicating time to the Quran, believers can make the month even more meaningful.
However, trying to finish the Quran in Ramadan isn’t about how quickly someone can get to the final page. It’s all about reading with sincerity, reflection and intention, so that a Muslim can apply the teachings within the Holy Book to their lives.
It can be difficult to know how to complete the Quran in Ramadan, and, without direction, it can be impossible to achieve your spiritual goal. To be able to complete the Quran in 30 days, you need to make a schedule that works for your home life and makes time for increased acts of worship.
Luckily, the Quran is made up of 30 Juz (parts), making a schedule easier to make because you can split up the reading by focusing on completing one Juz every day. Doing this throughout the holy month can help you complete the entire Quran by the end.
It’s important to remember that one Juz is typically around 20 pages in a standard Madinah Mushaf, so you need to aim to read around 20 pages each day. Now, this doesn’t mean that you need to cram 20 pages all in one go during the day, as this defeats the purpose of Quran recitation, which is to reflect on Allah’s words and truly understand them. Instead, it’s best to split these pages up across the day to allow you to complete the Juz, focus on other acts of worship and continue your daily schedule to get the most out of Ramadan.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to divide your reading up between the five daily prayers, which need to be completed every day in the month. For example, you could read around four pages after each Salah to spread your reading throughout the day, rather than cramming it into one long reading session.
If this doesn’t work for your schedule, you could also divide the 20 pages between Suhoor, after Fajr, during the afternoon and after Isha or Taraweeh. However you do it, the most important thing is to choose a way that works for you, so that you can be consistent with your Quran reading plan throughout Ramadan.
For your Quran reading plan, it’s best to make sure that you complete one Juz per day in any way you can. By making this your aim during Ramadan, you set a clear target while still giving you flexibility to continue your daily routine and Ramadan routine.
On day one, you should complete Juz 1 and day two, you should complete Juz 2, and so and so forth until you reach day 30 and the last Juz.
If you follow this schedule during the whole holy month, you can have a simple routine to follow for you to complete your 30 day Quran challenge. This pace isn’t set in stone and doesn’t have to be done in one sitting. You can adjust the pace according to the number of days in Ramadan and your personal circumstances, while also choosing to split the Juz up at different times of the day.
Now you have a reading plan, you need to find the best way for you to complete a Juz a day so that you can finish the Quran in Ramadan. Consistency is key for completing the Quran in the holy month, so it’s usually ideal to break down the Juz into smaller sections to read at different times of the day. This is more useful than trying to read a large amount at once, as your days during Ramadan are even more hectic than usual due to needing time to increase your worship, having a completely different schedule for eating and sleeping and needing to continue your daily routine.
To help you find time to read and understand a Juz a day, we’ve split your reading into five smaller sessions throughout the day, allowing you to stick to the plan and achieve your goal.
Taking this approach makes your Quran reading during Ramadan much more manageable for your day-to-day, busy routine. It can help you find time to achieve your goals and still balance fasting, work, family responsibilities, additional prayers, giving and other forms of worship.
If the above routine doesn’t suit your schedule, you can also choose to simplify the breakdown into just two chunks. This means that you can read 10 pages in the morning and 10 pages in the evening, which may be a longer time reading, but can suit very hectic days by choosing times where responsibilities are often quieter. Alongside this, you can also listen to a Juz while travelling or completing everyday activities. However, listening should just complement your reading and understanding, rather than replacing your personal reading, as the Quran needs to be taken in properly and reflected upon.
If you are new to Islam and have recently reverted, then Quran reading can be a huge challenge. Regularly reading the Quran to complete it during one month can feel daunting and impossible, especially if you cannot read Arabic fluently and understand it. Reading the Quran is all about understanding Allah’s words and reflecting on them, so it means that a Quran reading plan for beginners needs to be adjusted to be able to understand the teachings and their meanings. The reading plan also needs to encourage consistency and take any pressure off, as this is unnecessary because there’s no obligation to complete the Quran in Ramadan.
A beginner's reading plan needs to provide a translation so that you can understand the teachings and learn Arabic as you go along. It’s best to start gradually by trying to complete five pages a day at the start of the month. This can then be increased as you become more comfortable and confident with Arabic. You could even focus on just reading after one or two daily prayers and then build towards the full 20 pages in the day.
Don’t worry if you can’t complete the Quran in 30 days; it doesn’t mean that you’ve had an unsuccessful Ramadan. There is no duty to complete the Holy Book in the month, and it’s only a time to increase recitation, so even a small amount of Quran reading can be extremely valuable. You should focus on improving your relationship with the Quran and working on your Arabic comprehension, rather than comparing yourself to others.
It’s very normal for routines to change during Ramadan because it’s such a busy time of the Islamic year. This means that it’s easy for you to miss a reading session and fall behind on your Quran reading plan. Work, travel, illness or family commitments can all get in the way and make it harder to reach your goal of trying to finish the Quran in Ramadan.
Don’t be discouraged if you do fall behind and don’t put pressure on yourself. Remember that completing the Holy Book isn’t obligatory and it’s all about spending more time reading and reflecting on the teachings of Allah (SWT). To catch up, it’s best to look at the amount you’ve missed and decide on whether you can catch up in a reasonable way. Think about whether it can be included in other reading sessions by adding a few extra pages to your daily target. You don’t need to abandon your entire Quran reading plan because you’ve missed one day.
It’s also worth remembering that the purpose of reading the Quran in Ramadan isn’t just to reach that final Juz and complete the whole Holy Book. It’s about taking the time to think about the meaning of what you’re reading, make dua and reflect on how you can bring the teachings into your daily life.
Having a Quran reading plan for the month of Ramadan can help break down each Juz every day to work toward your goal of completing the Holy Book. It provides you with structure for your worship and your daily responsibilities, allowing you to make the most of the holy month. The aim of completing the Quran isn’t to rush through it, though. It should be about understanding Allah’s teachings, reflecting on them and implementing them into your life to build a stronger connection to Him.
As you prepare to find the Quran in Ramadan, spare a thought for the ummah who are struggling to survive. So many people worldwide don’t have the same privilege of accessing the Holy Book or the opportunity to worship and strengthen their faith during Ramadan. With your generosity, you can change this for vulnerable communities by donating a Quran. This is one of the simplest and most meaningful ways to transform their lives and earn rewards that never stop. Spread the gift of Islam and give those in need the chance to worship properly during the holy month.
