With Ramadan 2026 (1447 AH) just around the corner, one question starts coming to almost every Muslim's mind:
"How can I finish reading the entire Quran during Ramadan?"
You may have tried before and felt overwhelmed. You may have started strong but lost consistency. Or maybe this is your first time setting such a goal and you're unsure where to begin.
Let me reassure you of one thing right away: finishing the Quran in Ramadan is completely achievable for an average Muslim with a realistic plan and sincere intention. You don't need hours and hours every day. You need clarity, structure, and consistency.
This guide is written specifically for people who want to complete the Quran during Ramadan 2026, using a clear 29-day plan that works even if Ramadan turns out to be 29 days instead of 30.
Short Answer: How to Finish the Quran in Ramadan
To finish the Quran in Ramadan, read about 21 pages per day from the standard Madani Mushaf (604 pages total), spread across your prayers or at fixed times. If you follow a structured 29-day schedule and stay consistent, you can comfortably complete the Quran before the end of Ramadan.
Now let's break this down properly.
Why Aim to Finish the Quran in 29 Days (Not 30)?
Many people make the mistake of planning for 30 days, assuming Ramadan will last the full month. However, Islamic months are lunar, and Ramadan can be 29 or 30 days.
If you delay completion until the 30th day and Ramadan ends on the 29th, you miss your goal.
That's why experienced scholars and teachers recommend:
- Target finishing the Quran by Day 29
- Treat Day 30 (if it occurs) as bonus revision, reflection, or extra recitation
This approach removes stress and uncertainty.
Which Quran Is This Schedule Based On?
This schedule is based on the standard Madani Mushaf commonly used across the Muslim world, especially in the West:
- Total pages: 604 pages
- Total Juz': 30
- Average pages per Juz': 20
To finish in 29 days, we divide the Quran by pages, not Juz'.
Schedule to Finish the Quran in Ramadan
To complete 604 pages in 29 days, you need to read approximately 21 pages per day.
Below is a simple, practical, and realistic reading schedule.
💡 Tip: You can split these pages across Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha to make it effortless.

How Many Verses A Day To Finish the Quran in Ramadan
The Quran contains approximately 6,236 verses (ayahs). To finish reading the entire Quran during Ramadan:
- For a 29-day Ramadan: Read about 215 verses per day (6,236 ÷ 29 = 215)
- For a 30-day Ramadan: Read about 208 verses per day (6,236 ÷ 30 = 208)
However, since we're planning for 29 days to be safe, aim for approximately 215 verses daily. This aligns with reading 21 pages per day, as the average page contains about 10-11 verses.
Just like with pages, you can split these verses across your five daily prayers. For example, reading about 43 verses after each prayer (5 prayers × 43 verses = 215 verses) makes the goal manageable and consistent.
How to Make This Schedule Easy (Even If You're Busy)
Reading 21 pages at once may sound heavy, but it becomes easy when divided.
Here's a very practical breakdown:
- After Fajr: 4 pages
- After Dhuhr: 4 pages
- After Asr: 4 pages
- After Maghrib: 4 pages
- After Isha or Taraweeh: 5 pages
That's it. Short sessions. No burnout.
Why People Try to Finish the Quran in Ramadan
Ramadan has a special relationship with the Quran. Muslims across generations have made extra effort in this month—not out of pressure, but because of its unmatched spiritual value.
1. The Quran Was Revealed in Ramadan
Allah says:
"The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Quran was revealed as guidance for mankind…"
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185)
This verse alone shows why Ramadan is the month of the Quran. Engaging deeply with it during this time aligns you with the very purpose of Ramadan.
2. The Prophet ﷺ Reviewed the Quran Every Ramadan
Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) reported:
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most generous of people, and he was even more generous in Ramadan when Jibreel met him. Jibreel used to meet him every night in Ramadan to revise the Quran with him."
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6)
This shows that even the Prophet ﷺ gave special importance to Quran recitation in Ramadan.
3. Immense Reward for Every Letter
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will receive one reward, and that reward will be multiplied by ten."
(Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Hadith 2910 – Hasan Sahih)
Ramadan multiplies rewards even further, making Quran recitation extraordinarily rewarding.
FAQs About Finishing the Quran in Ramadan
How many pages of Quran a day to finish in 30 days?
About 20 pages per day.
The standard Quran has 604 pages. Dividing that by 30 gives roughly 20 pages daily. However, it is safer to plan for 21 pages per day to finish in 29 days.
Is it haram to finish the Quran in less than 3 days?
No, it is not haram. The Prophet ﷺ discouraged habitual completion in less than three days because it may affect understanding, but scholars explain this as discouragement, not prohibition, especially outside Ramadan.
Is it necessary to finish the Quran during Ramadan?
No, it is not obligatory. Finishing the Quran in Ramadan is a recommended and virtuous act, not a requirement. Even partial recitation with sincerity carries immense reward.
Do you get extra rewards for reading the Quran in Ramadan?
Yes. Good deeds are multiplied in Ramadan, and the Quran is already the greatest form of dhikr. Combining both results in immense reward, mercy, and forgiveness.
Final Advice
Don't aim for perfection. Aim for consistency.
Even if you fall behind one day, adjust and continue. Ramadan is not about pressure—it's about reconnecting with the Book of Allah.
If you approach this Ramadan with a clear plan, sincere intention, and steady effort, finishing the Quran will feel natural, not forced.
May Allah allow us all to complete the Quran, understand it, and live by it. Ameen.
