Quran reading plan
Read the Quran in 7 days
The Quran is traditionally divided into seven manzils so that it can be read in a week, one manzil a day. They follow surah boundaries, so they are not equal: the shortest day here is 72 pages and the longest 106, about 86 on average.
The schedule
Pages are those of the standard 604-page Madinah mushaf. Where a day starts partway down a page, that page is counted in both days. Each verse links to its place in the text.
| Day | Manzil | From | To | Pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | Al-Fatihah 1:1 | An-Nisa 4:176 | 1–106 |
| 2 | 2 | Al-Ma'idah 5:1 | At-Tawbah 9:129 | 106–207 |
| 3 | 3 | Yunus 10:1 | An-Nahl 16:128 | 208–281 |
| 4 | 4 | Al-Isra 17:1 | Al-Furqan 25:77 | 282–366 |
| 5 | 5 | Ash-Shu'ara 26:1 | Ya-Sin 36:83 | 367–445 |
| 6 | 6 | As-Saffat 37:1 | Al-Hujurat 49:18 | 446–517 |
| 7 | 7 | Qaf 50:1 | An-Nas 114:6 | 518–604 |
Fitting it into the day
Across the five daily prayers a manzil comes to roughly 17 pages after each.
Common questions
How many pages a day to finish the Quran in a week?
About 86 on average: 604 pages ÷ 7 is 86.3. Following the manzils, the days run from 72 to 106 pages.
What are the seven manzils?
Seven divisions of the Quran, each starting at the beginning of a surah, made so that the whole text can be read once a week. They start at Al-Fatihah 1:1, Al-Ma'idah 5:1, Yunus 10:1, Al-Isra 17:1, Ash-Shu'ara 26:1, As-Saffat 37:1 and Qaf 50:1.
Why are the days different lengths?
Because each manzil begins and ends on a surah boundary rather than at an equal page count. A reader who wants equal days can use the calculator on the reading-plan page, which divides by page instead.
