As well as, Reciting Quran in Ramadan gives immense good deeds to the person reading it throughout this month and Finishing it can earn you more good deeds.
Ramadan is the month when Quran was revealed to our beloved prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him). And as we know, in this month, Allah multiplies our good deeps thrice. Imam al-Shafi'i used to finish Quran 60 times during this holy month of Ramadan. And there is also said, making dua in this month is very fruitful and always heard (if your dua is authentic and realistic)
How to Finish Quran in Ramadan Easily
An average Quran has approximately 600 pages. If you divide 600 with 30 days then that is 20 pages per day. And now divide 20 with 5 (5 Times of prayers), which becomes 4. And it will be so easy for you to Finish it!
It means if you pray just 4 pages after every Salah (Prayer). Then you will be able to finish it easily in this holy month.
And if you want to finish it twice, just start reciting 8 pages after every Salah (Prayer) you offer in this holy Month!
See? How easy it is to Finish Quran in this holy month of Ramadan, Share this info with your friends and family, and because of your share they recite the Quran then you will also be able to gain some reward out of this. I have done my part by sharing it with you, now do your part by sharing this chap with all of your family and friends.
The virtue of reading the Quran is part of the life of a Muslim, especially in filling the holy month of Ramadan, remembering that the reward is so great according to the words of the Prophet S.A.W:
"Whoever reads one letter of the Quran, for him one reward, and one reward. multiplied to ten rewards. I'm not saying alif lam mim is one letter, but alif is one letter, lam one letter, and mim one letter." (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi).
For example, if we read Bismillah, which consists of 19 letters, Allah SWT will multiply our reading reward by ten. Such a big value that it would be a shame if we didn't make full use of it.
The month of Ramadan is the month of the Al-Quran, therefore it is sunnah to multiply reading the Quran in this holy month. This activity will increase piety and reward.
What are the blessings of reciting the Qur'an?
To start with, you don't just get a reward for reciting the entire Quran, but for each letter within it! Abdullah Ibn Masud narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said:
"Whoever reads one letter from the Book of Allah will earn one reward thereby. One reward is equal to ten rewards the like of it. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Meem is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Meem is a letter." [Tirmidhi]
So even if you only make it halfway through the Quran by the time Ramadan ends, you'll still get the rewards for all that you've read so far! ? You can also continue this habit of reading after Ramadan has ended, and over time, your confidence in recitation will grow alongside your appreciation of the beauty of the Quran.
The process also gives you spiritual growth and elevates your standing as a Muslim. 'Uthman bin 'Affan reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said:
"The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it." [Sahih al-Bukhari]
Reciting the Quran helps you to attain patient and tranquillity.
How do I prepare to recite the Quran?
There is certain Adab (etiquette) one must follow before reciting the Quran. This includes:
Being in a state of Wudhu (ablution)
Being dressed appropriately
Beginning your recitation with the Ta'awwudz and by saying the Basmalah
This is why it's most convenient to read the Quran before or after your prayers, when you will be in a state of Wudhu, dressed appropriately, and be in the right frame of mind to concentrate on your recitation and deepen your faith.
As you read, your pace should also be slow so that you can understand the meaning of the verses instead of rushing through for the sake of finishing it. Save any discussion about the verse itself for afterwards, and remember to glorify Allah once you've finished reciting.
Start your recitation with the right intention, and make the intention to embark on your recitation with sincerity, clarity, determination, and worship of Allah.
These are some common strategies, but ultimately you should find one that suits your schedule! If you only have time at night, or in the early hours of the morning, use that time to dedicate yourself to your recitation. It's also important to keep a regular routine of recitation, which will help you feel more confident as well as more patient throughout the process.
Whether you manage to complete the Quran within Ramadan or not, there are still lots of blessings to get from reciting the holy book. With time to come, hopefully, reciting the Quran can turn into a regular habit - and eventually, i hope you can achieve reciting the book once, or even twice within Ramadan!
السلام و علیکم ورحمتہ اللہْ
May Allah help us all. Remember me and the entire Muslim Ummah in your Duas.
