Ramadan Quran Reading Chart and Schedule

Ramadan presents the perfect opportunity to complete reading the entire Quran, but without a structured plan, many Muslims struggle to finish. 

A standard 604-page Mushaf over 30 days means about 20 pages daily. Most Quran readers split it into 4 pages after each prayer—Fajr to Isha—so the target lands in five 10–15 minute sessions.

Understanding the Ramadan Quran Reading Chart Structure

A Ramadan Quran reading chart divides the 30 Juz of the Quran across 30 days, requiring approximately 20 pages daily. This systematic approach ensures you complete one Juz per day, making the goal achievable even for those with basic reading skills.

The standard Mushaf contains 604 pages. Dividing this by 30 days means reading 20 pages daily to finish Quran in Ramadan. Most practitioners round this to 4 pages after each of the five daily prayers, creating a natural rhythm aligned with Salah times.

Quran Structure	Details
Total Juz	30
Total Pages (Standard Mushaf)	604
Pages per Day	20
Pages per Prayer	4
Reading Time per Session	10-15 minutes (intermediate readers)

At The Quran Reading Academy, our Online Quran Reading Course with Tajweed helps students develop the reading fluency needed to maintain these daily targets while applying proper Tajweed rules, ensuring both quantity and quality in your Ramadan recitation.

How Many Pages to Read to Finish Quran in Ramadan?

To complete the Quran in 30 days, read exactly 20 pages daily from a standard 15-line Mushaf. This breaks down to 4 pages after each of the five prayers: Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.

This distribution method prevents overwhelming reading sessions. Each 4-page portion takes approximately 10-15 minutes for intermediate readers who have mastered basic Arabic letter recognition and can apply fundamental Tajweed rules.

New readers or those still developing fluency may need 20-25 minutes per session. Building this skill before Ramadan begins ensures you can maintain the schedule comfortably throughout the month.

Daily Ramadan Quran Reading Schedule by Prayer Times

Your quran reading ramadan schedule should align with Salah to create consistency and ease of tracking. This prayer-based distribution has been practiced by Muslims for centuries and remains the most effective method.

Prayer Time	Pages to Read	Cumulative Daily Pages	Approximate Time
After Fajr	1-4	4	10-15 minutes
After Dhuhr	5-8	8	10-15 minutes
After Asr	9-12	12	10-15 minutes
After Maghrib	13-16	16	10-15 minutes
After Isha	17-20	20	10-15 minutes
Total Daily	20 pages	20 pages	50-75 minutes

After Fajr (Pages 1-4): Begin your day with Surah Al-Fatihah through the early verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. The pre-dawn hours offer maximum concentration and barakah for Quran reading.

After Dhuhr (Pages 5-8): Continue through Surah Al-Baqarah during midday. This session can be completed during lunch breaks for working professionals.

After Asr (Pages 9-12): The afternoon session maintains momentum. Many readers find this time ideal for focused recitation before evening activities begin.

After Maghrib (Pages 13-16): The post-Iftar period is spiritually elevated. Despite physical tiredness from fasting, the heart feels renewed after breaking fast.

After Isha (Pages 17-20): Complete your daily target before sleep. Tarawih prayers often cover similar portions, reinforcing what you’ve read individually.

Week-by-Week Ramadan Quran Reading Chart Breakdown

Organizing your ramadan quran reading chart by weeks helps track progress and maintain motivation throughout the month. This structured approach prevents falling behind while allowing flexibility for catch-up days.

Week	Days	Juz to Complete	Surah Range	Total Pages
Week 1	1-7	Juz 1-7	Al-Fatihah to Al-Ma’idah	140
Week 2	8-14	Juz 8-14	Al-An’am to An-Nahl	140
Week 3	15-21	Juz 15-21	Al-Isra to Al-Ankabut	140
Week 4	22-30	Juz 22-30	Al-Ahzab to An-Nas	184

Week 1 of Ramadan Quran Reading Chart (Juz 1-7)

The first week focuses on establishing your routine. You’ll read from Surah Al-Fatihah through Surah Al-Ma’idah. These opening Juz contain longer Surahs with detailed rulings and stories.

Start slightly ahead if possible. Reading 22 pages on days when you have extra time creates a buffer for busier days ahead.

Many readers experience initial enthusiasm during week one. Channel this energy wisely by perfecting your pronunciation rather than rushing through pages.

Week 2 of Ramadan Quran Reading Chart (Juz 8-14)

The second week covers Surah Al-An’am through Surah An-Nahl. These middle Juz often contain narrative-heavy passages about previous nations and prophets.

Fatigue may begin appearing during week two. Combat this by varying your reading locations or reciting aloud when alone to maintain engagement.

The Quran Reading Academy’s Quran Recitation Course teaches proper vocal techniques and breathing patterns that reduce reading fatigue, especially beneficial for maintaining consistent recitation during extended Ramadan reading sessions.

Week 3 of Ramadan Quran Reading Chart (Juz 15-21)

Week three includes Surah Al-Isra through Surah Al-Ankabut. Physical and mental tiredness peaks during this period as Ramadan’s demands accumulate.

This week requires renewed intention. Remind yourself that you’re over halfway through the Quran, with less than 300 pages remaining.

If you’ve fallen behind, dedicate the last third of the night for catch-up reading. The spiritual atmosphere during Suhoor time provides unique motivation.

Week 4 of Ramadan Quran Reading Chart (Juz 22-30)

The final week covers Surah Al-Ahzab through Surah An-Nas. The concluding Juz contain shorter Surahs, making pages feel quicker despite accumulated fatigue.

Many readers experience renewed energy during the last ten nights, especially when seeking Laylatul Qadr. Use this spiritual high to complete your target.

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍۢ

Wa laqad yassarnal-Qur’ana lidhdhikri fahal min muddakir

“And We have certainly made the Quran easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?” (Al-Qamar 54:17)

Alternative Ramadan Quran Reading Schedules for Different Goals

Not everyone aims to complete the entire Quran once during Ramadan. Your schedule should match your current reading level and spiritual goals.

Goal	Daily Pages	Pages per Prayer	Total Completions	Skill Level Required
Complete Once	20	4	1	Intermediate
Complete Twice	40	8	2	Advanced
Half Quran	10	2	0.5	Beginner
Every 3 Days	200+	Variable	10	Expert/Hafiz
Every 7 Days	86+	Variable	4	Advanced

How Many Pages of Quran to Read a Day to Finish in Ramadan Twice?

To complete the Quran twice in 30 days, read 40 pages daily. This requires reading 8 pages after each of the five prayers instead of 4.

This ambitious target suits advanced readers with strong Tajweed skills and sufficient free time. Most working professionals find this challenging without compromising recitation quality.

Consider alternating between careful, slow reading for one completion and slightly faster review reading for the second completion.

Modified Schedule for New Quran Readers

New readers still developing Arabic recognition skills should aim for half a Juz daily, completing 15 Juz total during Ramadan. Read 10 pages per day distributed as 2 pages after each prayer.

Prayer Time	Pages for Beginners	Approximate Time
After Fajr	1-2	6-10 minutes
After Dhuhr	3-4	6-10 minutes
After Asr	5-6	6-10 minutes
After Maghrib	7-8	6-10 minutes
After Isha	9-10	6-10 minutes
Total Daily	10 pages	30-50 minutes

This modified approach prioritizes correct pronunciation over speed. Rushing through pages while making numerous Tajweed errors diminishes the spiritual benefit.

Students enrolled in The Quran Reading Academy’s Noorani Qaida Course develop the foundational reading skills necessary to gradually increase their daily page targets each Ramadan as their proficiency improves.

Three-Day Completion Schedule for Advanced Reciters

Some advanced Qaris complete the entire Quran every three days during Ramadan. This requires reading 10 Juz daily, approximately 200 pages.

This level demands exceptional reading fluency, memorization of large portions, and dedicated time blocks. It’s not recommended for those still learning proper Tajweed application.

The Sahaba would often complete the Quran in seven days outside Ramadan, increasing frequency during Ramadan’s blessed days.

Creating Your Personalized Quran Reading During Ramadan Plan

The most effective ramadan quran reading schedule aligns with your current reading level, daily responsibilities, and spiritual capacity. Honest self-assessment prevents unrealistic goals that lead to discouragement.

Assess Your Current Quran Reading Speed

Before Ramadan begins, time yourself reading one page with proper Tajweed. Multiply this by 20 to determine your daily time requirement.

Reading Speed (per page)	Reader Level	Daily Time (20 pages)	Recommended Daily Target
2-3 minutes	Advanced	40-60 minutes	20-30 pages
3-4 minutes	Intermediate	60-80 minutes	15-20 pages
4-6 minutes	Beginner	80-120 minutes	10-15 pages
7+ minutes	New Reader	140+ minutes	5-10 pages

If one page takes 5 minutes, your daily 20-page target requires 100 minutes. Distribute this across your five prayer times.

New readers averaging 3-4 minutes per page should begin practicing in Sha’ban to build speed and stamina before Ramadan arrives.

Account for Work and Family Responsibilities

Working professionals and parents must schedule reading around existing commitments. Front-load your reading during Fajr and Isha when distractions minimize.

Consider commute time for audio Quran listening, though this supplements rather than replaces actual reading practice.

Weekend days offer opportunities to read ahead, creating buffers for exceptionally busy weekdays.

Include Tarawih Prayer Recitation in Your Tracking

Many Imams complete the entire Quran during Tarawih prayers throughout Ramadan. Listening attentively during these prayers contributes to your overall Quran engagement.

However, personal reading remains essential. The physical act of reading from the Mushaf creates deeper connection than passive listening alone.

Track both your individual reading and Tarawih portions separately to maintain accountability for your personal goals.

Common Obstacles in Following Quran Reading Ramadan Schedule

Even with perfect planning, challenges emerge during Ramadan. Anticipating obstacles helps develop contingency strategies.

1. Dealing with Missed Days of Quran Reading and Falling Behind

Life happens. Illness, emergencies, or extreme fatigue may cause missed days. Avoid guilt spirals that prevent recovery.

Pages Behind	Recovery Strategy	Days Needed
20 pages (1 day)	Add 4 extra pages daily	5 days
40 pages (2 days)	Add 6 extra pages daily	7 days
60 pages (3 days)	Add 10 extra pages daily	6 days
80+ pages (4+ days)	Revise goal to 15 Juz	Adjust expectations

Add 4-6 extra pages on subsequent days rather than attempting massive catch-up sessions that compromise quality.

Remember that consistency matters more than perfection. Reading 15 Juz with proper Tajweed exceeds rushing through 30 Juz with countless errors.

2. Balancing Speed with Tajweed Quality

The pressure to complete 20 daily pages tempts readers to accelerate beyond their skill level. This produces reading riddled with pronunciation mistakes.

Proper Tajweed application cannot be sacrificed for quantity. Allah values quality recitation over rushed, incorrect reading.

If maintaining Tajweed standards prevents completing 20 pages, reduce your target. Better to read less correctly than more incorrectly.

Qualified instructors at The Quran Reading Academy provide personalized feedback through our Quran Tajweed Course, helping students identify specific mistakes they make when reading quickly and teaching techniques to maintain accuracy while gradually increasing speed.

3. Managing Physical Fatigue from Fasting

Fasting naturally reduces energy levels, particularly during the last ten nights when worship intensifies. Strategic scheduling counteracts fatigue’s impact.

Energy Level	Best Reading Time	Recommended Pages	Strategy
High (Morning)	After Fajr	6-8 pages	Tackle difficult Surahs
Medium (Afternoon)	After Dhuhr/Asr	4-6 pages	Moderate difficulty
Low (Pre-Iftar)	Skip or light review	0-2 pages	Save energy
Renewed (Post-Iftar)	After Maghrib/Isha	6-8 pages	Familiar portions

Read your most challenging portions during Fajr time when you’re fresh. Save easier, familiar Surahs for post-Iftar when tiredness peaks.

Adequate Suhoor nutrition and proper hydration during non-fasting hours directly impact your reading stamina throughout the day.

Conclusion

If you want to finish the Quran in Ramadan once, treat one Juz a day as your baseline. Track it by prayer times, and you’ll rarely “miss a day”—you’ll just miss a session, which is easier to recover.

Adjust the schedule to your level. Advanced reciters may handle 40 pages for two completions; new readers might aim for 10 pages, two after each salah, and focus on steady letter work and clean makharij.

When Ramadan fatigue shows up—especially mid-month—protect Tajweed before page counts. Time one page, multiply, then spread the minutes across Fajr and Isha when your mind is quieter. A teacher’s feedback can stop bad habits early.
