Khatm-ul Qoran
Support Khatmu-ul Qoran: An eternal reward
Khatmu-ul Qoran (ختم القرآن) means fully reciting or listening to the entire Qoran. This is a wonderful and spiritually enriching act within Islam, which is encouraged and rewarded by Allah. Completing the recitation of the Quran brings immense blessings and mercy, both to the reciter and to those who make it possible.
What does Khatmu'l-Qur'an mean?
Khatm literally means "to complete" or "to complete." Khatmu'l-Qur' an thus means the complete reading or recitation of the holy Qur'an, from beginning to end - usually from Surah al-Fatiha to Surah an-Nas. This can be done individually or communally, by voice or in silence, and sometimes during special occasions such as Ramadan, funerals or festive gatherings.

Why is a Khatmu-ul Qoran important?
Hafiz has an important value in Islamic societies and requires an intensive training process that usually begins at an early age. The memorization process is often taught by expert hafizes, and students practice reading a certain number of verses of the Qur'an each day for a certain amount of time. The training process includes strengthening memory, increasing concentration and improving memory techniques.
Why support Khatmu-ul Qoran?
1. Merit and reward
Reciting every letter of the Qur'an brings reward, as the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Whoever reads one letter from the Book of Allah receives one hasanah (reward) for it, and it is multiplied ten times..."
(Tirmidhi)
Thus, with a complete khatm, you receive thousands, if not millions, of hasanat.
2. Love and connection with the Qur'an
By reading the entire Book:
- Deepen your relationship with Allah
- Understand His message better
- Grows peace, direction and faith in your heart
3. Supplications (du'a) at the khatm are powerful
At the conclusion of the Qur'an, a special du'a is often done. According to many scholars, this is a moment when Allah does not reject supplications.
4. Part of Islamic tradition
Muslims around the world organize gatherings at a khatm, especially at:
Children completing the entire Qur'an for the first time
Ramadan (during tarawih)
Deceased persons (khatm for their souls)
5. Discernment on the Day of Judgment
Whoever is familiar with the Qur'an and recites it often will be elevated and protected on the Day of Judgment, according to many traditions.
The Qur'an will then act as an advocate (shafi') for the one who has recited it.
