When Ramadan arrives, Muslims all over the world feel a unique change in their hearts and daily lives. The days are filled with fasting, prayer, and devotion, while the nights shine with reflection and worship. Yet at the very heart of this month lies the Qur’an. Allah ﷻ reminds us in the Qur’an:
“The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur’an was revealed as guidance for mankind, with clear proofs of guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong)” (Al-Baqarah 185).
This verse explains why Ramadan is often called “the month of the Qur’an.” It is not just about abstaining from food and drink; it is about reconnecting with Allah’s final revelation, which brings light, wisdom, and guidance to every believer.
Reading the Qur’an in Ramadan is far more than a ritual. It is a chance to draw closer to Allah, transform fasting into a spiritual journey, and unlock multiplied blessings. The reward for reading Quran in Ramadan is immense, and its benefits touch both the heart and the soul.
You may be wondering: How much reward for reading Quran in Ramadan? Or perhaps: What benefits will I gain from making the Qur’an my companion this month? In this article, we will explore these treasures, supported by verses, authentic Hadith, and inspiring examples from the Prophet ﷺ and his companions.
What is the Reward for Reading Quran in Ramadan?
When Muslims dedicate themselves to the Qur’an in Ramadan, the rewards are beyond imagination. Allah ﷻ has promised multiplied blessings for every act of worship in this sacred month, and the Qur’an stands at the very heart of it.
Below are some of the greatest rewards, supported by Qur’anic verses, authentic Hadith, and sayings of the early generations:
1. Every Letter Counts as Ten Rewards (or More)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will have one good deed, and each good deed is multiplied by ten. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Meem is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Meem is a letter.” (Tirmidhi)
This means that every single letter brings at least ten rewards, and in Ramadan, when good deeds are multiplied, the reward is even greater.
2. Struggling Readers Receive Double Reward
Not everyone reads the Qur’an fluently, especially non-Arabic speakers. The Prophet ﷺ gave glad tidings:
“The one who is skilled in reciting the Qur’an will be with the noble angels. And the one who recites it and stumbles over it, finding it difficult, will have two rewards.” (Bukhari & Muslim)
This shows that effort itself is valued and rewarded by Allah.
3. The Qur’an Will Intercede on the Day of Judgment
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Recite the Qur’an, for it will come on the Day of Judgment to intercede for its companions.” (Muslim)
Reading the Qur’an in Ramadan not only benefits you now, but it also prepares an advocate for you in the Hereafter.
4. Multiplication of Rewards in the Sacred Month
Allah tells us:
“Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it [on the Day of Judgment].” (Surah Al-Zalzalah 7)
The scholars explained that good deeds are multiplied by ten as a minimum, and in Ramadan, they are multiplied many times more. That means the reward for reading Quran in Ramadan is immeasurable.
5. Following the Example of the Prophet ﷺ
Every Ramadan, Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) would review the Qur’an with the Prophet ﷺ. In his last year, this review happened twice (Bukhari & Muslim).
This tradition shows us that reciting and revisiting the Qur’an in Ramadan is a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ himself.
At Shaykhi Academy, we encourage our students to revive this Sunnah by gradually building a Qur’an routine in Ramadan, whether through recitation practice, Tajweed improvement, or guided reflection in English. With the right teacher, even small steps can grow into lifelong habits, just as the early generations showed us.
Watch this sample lesson to see what our classes are like.
6. The Companions’ Dedication to Qur’an Recitation
The companions and early generations gave the Qur’an extraordinary attention in Ramadan:
- Imam Malik would pause teaching Hadith and focus entirely on Qur’an recitation.
- Imam al-Shafi’i was reported to complete the Qur’an sixty times in Ramadan.
- Some companions divided their nights into portions to dedicate hours to recitation and reflection.
Their devotion shows the weight of reward they believed was tied to Qur’an recitation in Ramadan.
7. Preparing for Laylat al-Qadr
The Qur’an was revealed on Laylat al-Qadr, a night described as:
“The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.” (Surah Al-Qadr 3)
Reciting Qur’an in the nights of Ramadan increases your chance of catching this blessed night, where the reward of every deed surpasses eighty years of worship.
8. Qur’an Recitation Brings Angels and Mercy
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelops them, angels surround them, and Allah mentions them among those with Him.” (Muslim)
This means that even your personal or family recitation in Ramadan draws Allah’s mercy and the presence of angels.
In short, the reward for reading Quran in Ramadan is layered: every letter earns multiple good deeds, effort is rewarded, sins are erased, angels surround the reciter, and the Qur’an itself will stand in your favor on the Day of Judgment. Ramadan is therefore the best opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with the Book of Allah.
Benefits of Reading Quran during Ramadan
Reading the Qur’an in Ramadan is not only about reward, it is about transformation, discipline, and connection. When Muslims devote time to the Qur’an in this blessed month, they experience benefits that shape their hearts, their daily routines, and even their families and communities.
1. Deepening the Bond with Allah
The Qur’an is the direct speech of Allah ﷻ. Reciting it with sincerity in Ramadan strengthens love for Him and nurtures a sense of closeness and servitude.
2. Experiencing Inner Peace
Allah says:
“Indeed, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.” (Surah Ar-Ra'd 28).
Reciting the Qur’an calms the soul, eases anxiety, and brings comfort during the long hours of fasting.
3. Living the Message of Revelation
Completing or increasing Qur’an recitation in Ramadan allows you to engage with the entire guidance of Allah, from stories and wisdom to laws and promises of the Hereafter, making the month a journey through revelation.
4. Character Transformation
The Prophet ﷺ became “more generous than the blowing wind” in Ramadan when he reviewed the Qur’an with Jibreel (Bukhari & Muslim).
Reciting the Qur’an refines character, softens the heart, and inspires kindness, patience, and mercy.
5. Building Spiritual Discipline
Setting a daily Qur’an routine during Ramadan trains the soul to be disciplined. Whether a few lines after each prayer or a juz every night, these habits strengthen consistency and focus that last beyond Ramadan.
6. Purification of the Heart
Recitation cleanses the heart from sins, pride, and distractions, leaving it more receptive to faith. Ramadan magnifies this purification, helping you start anew with a clearer soul.
7. Strengthening Family Bonds
When families gather to recite Qur’an together after iftar or before suhoor, the home becomes filled with mercy. It creates shared moments of faith that deepen love and unity within the household.
8. Connecting with the Community
Across the Muslim world, mosques and communities host Qur’an circles and Taraweeh prayers in Ramadan. These gatherings allow believers to experience the Qur’an collectively, building unity and shared inspiration.
9. Guiding Daily Decisions
The Qur’an is a book of guidance:
“Indeed, this Qur’an guides to that which is most upright.” (Surah al Isra' 9).
Reciting and reflecting on its verses in Ramadan helps you navigate daily challenges with wisdom and clarity.
