Quran khatma plan: finish the Quran by your date, page by page

A khatma fails for a boring reason: nobody does the division. The Quran in the Madinah mushaf is 604 pages. If you want to finish in 30 days, you need about 20 pages a day. If you want 60 days, about 10 pages a day. If you read 2 pages a day, you need about 10 months. Most plans skip that step and rely on feeling, and feeling runs out in week two.

The free Cubbbix Quran Khatma Planner does the division for you. Enter the page you are on, pick a finish date, and pick a rest day if you want one. The page returns pages per day, a day by day table with exact page ranges, and the date you reach each juz. The plan starts tomorrow, so today stays for reading.

The page structure of the Madinah mushaf

The Madinah mushaf has 604 pages and 30 juz. Most juz run to 20 pages. The first juz runs to 21 pages because Surah Al-Fatiha and the opening verses of Al-Baqarah take a page each. The last juz runs to 23 pages because the short surahs at the end need extra title space. Juz 1 starts on page 1, Juz 2 on page 22, Juz 3 on page 42, and the pattern holds to Juz 30 on page 582.

Other prints differ. The Indo-Pak print runs to about 558 pages, so its juz start pages do not match this planner. If your copy shows different juz start pages, use your own copy's numbers for reading and use this planner for the daily division only. The planner names the Madinah count on the page so the mismatch is visible instead of hidden.

Picking a finish date that holds

Start from the pages per day, not from the date. Read the planner output and ask whether the daily number fits your real day. Twenty pages takes most readers 30 to 45 minutes. Ten pages takes 15 to 25 minutes. Four pages takes under 10 minutes. If the number looks too high, move the finish date later and rebuild. A plan with 6 pages a day that you actually read beats a plan with 20 pages a day that you abandon.

Missed days need a rule, not guilt. Read the missed pages over the next two days, using the day table to see exactly how many pages you owe. The table shows start and end pages for every day, so catching up is arithmetic, not guesswork. If you fall a full juz behind, rebuild the plan from your current page instead of pretending the old plan still holds.
