Many people ask how to finish Quran in Ramadan when the days are full of work, school and family. The good news is that it is not as hard as it looks. With a clear plan, a small piece after each prayer adds up to the whole Quran by Eid.
This guide gives you a daily plan in plain numbers. You will find a full plan, a slower plan for new readers, and a plan for kids. You will also see how Ramadan 2027 will feel in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, and how to catch up if you miss a day.
How Many Pages a Day Do You Need to Read?
The Quran has 30 parts. Each part is called a juz. Ramadan has 29 or 30 days, so one juz a day is the easy rule.
The common print of the Quran used in many homes and apps has 604 pages. Each juz is about 20 pages. So the maths looks like this:
- Ramadan with 30 days: about 20 pages a day, or one juz a day.
- Ramadan with 29 days: about 21 pages a day. That is just one extra page each day.
- Slower plan, half the Quran: about 10 pages a day, or half a juz.
- A good aim for a new reader: 2 to 5 pages a day, read well.
Plan A: How to Finish Quran in Ramadan in 30 Days
The best trick is to tie your reading to the 5 daily prayers. You already stop for each prayer. Just stay on the mat a few more minutes and read.
Read 4 pages after each prayer. That is 20 pages a day, which is one juz. Most people read one page in 2 to 3 minutes, so each sitting takes about 10 minutes. Here is the split:
Before Ramadan starts, pick one copy of the Quran and stick with it. A print and an app may not have the same pages, so a page count can slip if you switch. Put a bookmark in it each time you stop. On day 1, write down the page you must reach each night, so you always know if you are on track.
- After Fajr: 4 pages. The house is quiet and the mind is fresh.
- After Dhuhr: 4 pages. Read at work in your break, or on a phone app.
- After Asr: 4 pages, before you start to cook for iftar.
- After Maghrib: 4 pages, once you have broken your fast and prayed.
- After Isha: 4 pages, before or after Taraweeh.
- In a 29-day month, read 5 pages after Fajr instead of 4. That one extra page a day keeps you on track.
Plan B: What If You Read Slowly?
If you are still learning to read, 20 pages a day may be too much. That is fine. Pushing too hard can make you rush and make mistakes.
Plan B is half the Quran in Ramadan. Read 2 pages after each prayer. That is 10 pages a day and 15 juz by Eid. You can finish the rest in the months after Ramadan.
If 10 pages is still too much, pick a number you can keep each day, even 1 page after each prayer. A small amount read well is better than a big amount read fast.

How Will Ramadan 2027 Feel Where You Live?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to start around 8 February 2027. The real date depends on the moon, so check with your local mosque. Because it falls in February and early March, the day length is very different in each country.
Get a prayer timetable from your mosque for the whole month. Look at when Fajr, Maghrib and Isha fall, and find your two calmest times. Put the biggest part of your reading there. Use a plan that fits your day:
- USA and Canada: it is winter, so the fast is short and the night is long. Read more at night. Try 6 pages after Isha and 4 pages after Fajr, and spread the rest over the day.
- UK: days are short and Isha comes early in the evening. You will have a long, calm evening after iftar. Put most of your reading there. Try 8 pages after Maghrib, 8 after Isha and 4 after Fajr.
- Australia: it is late summer, so the fast is longer and the days can be hot. School is in term too. Read more in the cool early morning after Fajr, and keep the hot afternoon light. See our online Quran classes in Australia if your child needs help before Ramadan.
How Can Kids Join a Ramadan Quran Plan?
Kids do not need to finish the whole Quran. The aim is to make Ramadan a happy Quran month that they look forward to each year. Pick a goal that fits their level:
- Kids learning the Qaida: one lesson page a day, plus listening to one short surah.
- Kids who read slowly: one page of the Quran after Maghrib with a parent.
- Kids who read well: half a page after each prayer, or one juz in the whole month.
- All kids: learn one new short surah by heart in the month.
How Do You Help Kids Stay on Track?
Kids love to see their own progress. Print our free kids Quran practice chart and stick it on the fridge. Let your child add a tick or a sticker each day.
Read with them, not just next to them. Sit together after iftar, when everyone is calm and full. Keep it short, with lots of praise. A child who enjoys 10 minutes will come back the next day.
What Should You Do If You Miss a Day?
Almost everyone misses a day. You may be sick, travel, or have a long day at work. Do not give up. Use this simple step plan to catch up:
- Step 1: Do not try to read the lost juz all at once. That leads to rushing and tired eyes.
- Step 2: Add 1 extra page after each prayer. That is 5 extra pages a day.
- Step 3: Keep this up for 4 days. Four days of 5 extra pages makes up the 20 pages you lost.
- Step 4: Go back to your normal plan. If you missed more than one day, repeat the steps.
- Step 5: If you still fall behind, switch to Plan B. Reading half the Quran well is still a great month.
Is Speed or Good Reading More Important?
Speed is not the goal. The Quran asks us to read it with care. Reading too fast can change the sounds of letters, and some sound changes can change the meaning.
Try to read with good Tajweed, which means giving each letter its right sound. If you are not sure of your rules, it is never too late to learn to read with Tajweed. You can also read a short meaning in English for each page. Even a few lines of meaning a day helps the words stay in your heart.
How Do You Keep the Habit After Eid?
Many people read every day in Ramadan, then stop after Eid. The plan around the prayers works all year. Just make the amount smaller.
After Eid, try one page after each prayer. That is 5 pages a day, and you will finish the Quran in about 4 months. If one page is too much, read half a page. The habit matters more than the number.
