Khatam Guide: how to plan a Quran completion
A khatmah means a complete recitation of the Quran from start to finish. This guide explains how to plan one with the planner on the home page — no religious rulings, just practical planning.
Step 1 — Choose your dates
Enter the day you want to start and the day you want to finish. The planner counts both the start and end days, so a plan from the 1st to the 30th of a month is 30 days, not 29.
Step 2 — Pick pages or Juz
The Madinah Mushaf has 604 pages and the Quran is divided into 30 Juz. Pages suit readers who follow a printed Mushaf page by page; Juz suits readers who think in parts. Both modes cover the whole Quran exactly — only the unit changes.
Step 3 — Follow the daily schedule
The planner shares the total as evenly as possible. Because 604 does not always divide evenly, the earliest days of your plan get one extra page (or one extra tenth of a Juz) until the remainder is used up. That is why the first days of a 30-day plan show 21 pages and the later days show 20 — and why the schedule always ends exactly on page 604 or Juz 30.
Step 4 — Track and re-plan
Tick each day off in the checklist as you finish it. If you miss a day, do not try to double up in a panic: re-run the planner from today with a new end date, or read the missed portion across the next few days. A plan you can actually keep is better than a perfect plan you abandon.
Common plan sizes
- 30 days: about 20 pages / 1 Juz a day.
- 15 days: about 41 pages / 2 Juz a day.
- 10 days: about 61 pages / 3 Juz a day.
- 7 days: about 87 pages / 4.3 Juz a day.
