Want to Complete the Quran Twice in 1 Month of Ramadan? Here are Techniques You Can Try

Kapanlagi.com - The month of Ramadan is a blessed time for Muslims to double their worship, especially in reading the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad SAW was known to be very diligent in recitation during this holy month. As mentioned in the hadith of Ibn Abbas narrated by Bukhari:

"The Messenger of Allah was the most generous person, and his generosity shone even more in the month of Ramadan when the Angel Gabriel visited him and taught him the Quran." (HR Bukhari)

For some people, completing the reading of the Quran once in a month may already be a challenge. However, with the right techniques, it is not impossible to complete it twice during Ramadan. Want to know how? Here is the complete guide.

1. Calculation of Readings for Completing the Quran 2 Times in Ramadan

To complete the Quran twice during the month of Ramadan, we need to understand the number of pages and distribute them effectively throughout the day.

Basic Formula for Reading Distribution:

• The Quran consists of 30 sections (juz), with 604 pages (standard Indonesian mushaf).
• If you want to complete it once, just read 20 pages per day.
• If you want to complete it twice, then the reading amount must be increased to 40 pages per day.

2. Daily Schedule for Completing 2 Times in 1 Ramadan

How to divide these 40 pages so that it feels light? To make it easier and not feel heavy, the readings can be divided into five sessions a day, which are after the obligatory prayers.

Reading Distribution After Each Prayer:

• After Fajr: 8 pages
• After Dhuhr: 8 pages
• After Asr: 8 pages
• After Maghrib: 8 pages
• After Isha/Tarawih: 8 pages

Total Reading in a Day:

• 8 pages x 5 prayer times = 40 pages per day
• 40 pages x 30 days of Ramadan = 1,200 pages (2 times completion)

With this method, in a month we can complete the Quran twice without feeling overwhelmed.
