Ramadan 2027 Quran Reading Plan: in 30, 20, 15 or 10 Days

Ramadan is the month of the Quran: "The month of Ramadan, in which the Quran was sent down as guidance for people" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:185). Many Muslims set themselves the goal of reading the whole Quran during this month. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February 2027, depending on the sighting of the crescent.

The hardest part is not starting, it is keeping going. The answer is a realistic plan, broken into small portions. Here are four plans, from the gentlest to the most demanding.

The numbers to know

The plans below are based on the Madinah mushaf, the most widely used:

• 604 pages in total;
• 30 juz (parts), of about 20 pages each;
• 60 hizb, that is 2 hizb per juz.

If your mushaf has a different layout, count in juz rather than pages: the division stays the same.

30-day plan: 1 juz a day

This is the most common plan, and the easiest to keep up.

• Per day: 1 juz, about 20 pages.
• Per prayer: 4 pages after each of the five prayers.
• Time: about 30 to 45 minutes a day for a confident reader.

On day 1 you read juz 1, on day 2 juz 2, and so on up to juz 30. Ramadan sometimes has 29 days: to be sure you finish, read one extra page a day, or finish the last two juz on the 29th day.

20-day plan: 1.5 juz a day

To finish before the last ten nights, and devote them to prayer, supplication and a second reading.

• Per day: 3 hizb, about 30 pages.
• Per prayer: 6 pages after each prayer.

15-day plan: 2 juz a day

To read the Quran twice during the month.

• Per day: 2 juz, about 40 pages.
• Per prayer: 8 pages after each prayer.

10-day plan: 3 juz a day

A demanding pace, for those who already read fluently, or for a reading during the last ten nights.

• Per day: 3 juz, about 60 pages.
• Per prayer: 12 pages after each prayer.
• Time: allow 1.5 to 2 hours a day.

Which plan should you choose?

Choose the one you can keep up even on busy days. It is better to finish a reading in 30 days than to give up an overly ambitious plan on day ten. The Prophet ﷺ said that the deeds most beloved to Allah are those done regularly, even if they are few (reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim).

If you still read slowly, don't be discouraged: reading less, but reading correctly, is a very good goal. Our article on reading the Quran in Ramadan when your Arabic reading is weak suggests goals to match your level.

Five tips to keep going until the end

1. Tie your reading to the prayers. A few pages after each prayer is easier than one long session in the evening.
2. Keep the same mushaf all month, with a bookmark: you always know where you are.
3. Catch up quickly. A missed day can be made up the next day by adding 4 pages to each prayer. Missed several days? Switch to the next plan, without feeling guilty.
4. Listen before you read the difficult passages, with a well-known reciter. You correct your pronunciation and read faster.
5. Read as a family at least once a day, for example after breaking the fast: everyone reads a page in turn.

Read fast or read well?

During Ramadan, it is tempting to speed up to stay on schedule. Be careful not to sacrifice pronunciation: the rules of tajweed (elongations, emphatic letters, ghunna) are part of correct recitation. A badly pronounced letter can change the meaning of a word.

If you want to check your reading before Ramadan, there are still a few weeks left to work with a teacher. Our online tajweed classes are one-to-one: the teacher listens to every verse and corrects you as you go.
