Quick answer: pages per day to finish the Quran
To finish the Quran in 30 days, read about 20 pages a day, which is one juz. The standard Madani mushaf has 604 pages, so divide 604 by the number of days you have: 40 days needs about 15 pages a day, and a full year needs under 2.
| Finish in | Pages per day | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 30 days (Ramadan) | 20.1 | 1 juz a day |
| 40 days | 15.1 | ¾ juz a day |
| 60 days | 10.1 | ½ juz a day |
| 90 days | 6.7 | 1 juz every 3 days |
| 6 months | 3.3 | 1 juz a week |
| 1 year | 1.7 | about 5 minutes a day |

How the Math Works
The standard Madani mushaf — the printed Quran used across most of the world — has 604 pages, divided into 30 juz (roughly 20 pages each) and about 6,236 ayahs. That structure makes completion planning simple arithmetic: divide 604 pages by your timeframe.
Finish in 30 days (a Ramadan khatam) and you need just over 20 pages a day — exactly one juz, which is why the juz division exists. Spread it over a year and the daily commitment drops to well under two pages: five minutes of reading. The barrier to completing the Quran has never been time. It is consistency.
Choosing a Realistic Pace
The most common khatam mistake is choosing a heroic pace that collapses in week two. The most beloved deeds to Allah are the most consistent, even if small (Sahih al-Bukhari 6464) — a sustainable two pages a day beats an abandoned twenty. If you are building the habit from zero, start with our guide to building a daily Quran reading habit that sticks, pick a plan like the 40-day challenge or the one-year khatam plan, and let the calculator above tell you the daily cost.
Tracking Without Spreadsheets
A plan only works if your position is tracked. Quran Gate advances your mushaf position automatically with every reading session — every unlock of your gated apps continues exactly where you left off, so your khatam progresses through the phone habit you already have. See how it compares to other approaches in our Muslim app blocker guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages a day do I need to read to finish the Quran in 30 days?
About 20 pages a day, which is exactly one juz. The standard Madani mushaf has 604 pages, and 604 ÷ 30 = 20.1. At a steady recitation pace of about 3 minutes per page, that is roughly an hour of reading a day. The 30-day Ramadan Quran plan breaks it into a daily schedule.
How many pages are in the Quran?
604 in the standard Madani mushaf, the print used by most Quran apps and across most of the Muslim world. Other prints, such as the 13-line and 15-line mushafs common in South Asia, have a different page count, but every print has the same 30 juz. If your mushaf differs, plan by juz instead of pages.
How do I finish the Quran in a week?
Read about 86 pages a day (604 ÷ 7 = 86.3), a little over 4 juz. At about 3 minutes per page that is more than 4 hours a day, so a one-week khatam suits a retreat or the last ten nights of Ramadan better than a normal week. Some mushafs mark seven manzil divisions for exactly this: one manzil a day.
How long does it take to finish the Quran reading 2 pages a day?
302 days, or about 10 months (604 ÷ 2). Two pages take around 6 minutes, which makes it one of the easiest khatam plans to keep up. The one-year khatam plan uses a similar pace.
Can I still finish the Quran in Ramadan if I start late?
Yes. Divide the pages you have left by the days remaining. Starting from page 1 with 20 days left takes 30.2 pages a day, about 1.5 juz; with 10 days left it takes 60.4 pages, or 3 juz a day. Enter your remaining days in the calculator above for the exact number.
What is a khatam?
A khatam (also written khatm or khatmah) is one complete reading of the Quran, from Surah Al-Fatihah to Surah An-Nas. Many Muslims aim for at least one khatam every Ramadan, and some complete one every month.
