01
A steady portion is better than an interrupted rush
Choose an amount you can keep up: a page, a few pages, or a juz' for those able. The aim is not the speed of completion, but continuing the connection with the Qur'an with reflection and action.

A useful way of reading
- Read the verses with tartil and calm.
- Go back to a concise tafsir to know the overall meaning.
- Extract one guidance to act on in your day.
- Write down the question you did not understand instead of building a meaning of your own.
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلًا“Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.”أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ“Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon [their] hearts?”03
A sustainable plan
Two pages daily with a concise tafsir.
Four to ten pages according to ability.
A juz' daily for whoever is able, with reflection.

The call to tartil and reflection is established by the text, and persistence in action is a sound principle. As for the suggested page amounts, they are a teaching arrangement prepared by the platform and not a Shari'ah ruling.
