The short answer: to finish the Quran in Ramadan, read one juz a day, which is about 20 pages of the standard Madinah Mushaf. The easiest way is 4 pages after each of the 5 daily prayers. The chart below gives every day of Ramadan 2027 (expected to start on Monday 8 February) with where to start.

Dates assume Ramadan begins on Monday 8 February 2027 and may move by a day with the moon sighting. If Ramadan has 29 days, read Juz 29 and Juz 30 on the last day, or read a little extra in the last week. Start points follow the Madinah Mushaf; some South Asian printed copies mark a few paras a verse or so earlier. See the 30 para names.
The "4 pages after every prayer" method
| Prayer | Pages | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| Fajr | 4 | 4 |
| Dhuhr | 4 | 8 |
| Asr | 4 | 12 |
| Maghrib | 4 | 16 |
| Isha | 4 | 20 (one juz) |
Four pages take most fluent readers about 10–15 minutes, so the whole day's juz is spread into small, manageable sittings.
Lighter and heavier plans
| Goal | Daily portion | About |
|---|---|---|
| Half the Quran in Ramadan | Half a juz | 10 pages (2 after each prayer) |
| One full khatam | One juz | 20 pages (4 after each prayer) |
| Two khatams | Two juz | 40 pages (8 after each prayer) |
| Finish by the 27th night | About 1.1 juz | 22–23 pages |
Tips to stay on track
- Prepare before Ramadan: build up to 10–20 pages a day in Sha'ban, so day one is not a shock.
- Catch up the same day: if you miss a sitting, add those pages to the next prayer rather than leaving them for later.
- Read correctly: a juz read with mistakes is not the goal. Fix your reading with a teacher beforehand if you need to.
- For children: set a smaller goal, such as Juz 'Amma or one page a day; see the Ramadan Quran plan for kids.
