(Refer Al-Tibyan fi Adab Hamalah al-Quran, pg. Imam al-Nawawi said that it is sunnah muakkad to attend kahatam al-Quran ceremony. It is also narrated to be from the practice of the salaf where when Abdullah bin Mubarak completed his Quran, he would increase his supplication for the Muslimin. “As for Anas, when he completed his Quran, he would assemble his children and family and supplicate with them.” Among them is that blessings are showered and supplications are granted during the ceremony, this is according to an athar from Anas bin Malik RA: Indeed, Khatam al-Quran ceremony has its own advantages and benefits.

Thus, khatam means the closing or ending (completion) of the 30 juzuk of al-Quran, whether it is by recitation or memorization. The word khatam is an Arabic word (ختم) means closing. And the example of a dissolute wicked person who does not recite the Qur'an is like the colocynth which tastes bitter and has no smell.” And the example of a dissolute wicked person who recites the Qur'an is like the Raihana (sweet basil) which smells good but tastes bitter. And he (a believer) who does not recite the Qur'an is like a date which is good in taste but has no smell. "The example of him (a believer) who recites the Qur'an is like that of a citron which tastes good and smells good. Among the rewards is stated in a hadith narrated by Abu Musa, where the Prophet PBUH said: Allah SWT promises those who recite the Quran various rewards and high status. Blessings and salutations to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, his wives, his family, companions and all those that follow his teachings to the day of judgement.Īlways reciting the Quran is an encouraged deed. My question is what is the ruling of dividing the juzuk of the Quran to be recited? And is it considered as khatam al-Quran where each person will receive the rewards of khatam al-Quran?Īlhamdulillah, praise and thanks to Allah for the countless blessings He has blessed us all with. This situation is also common every Ramadhan, where after each person has completed his juzuk, they would then hold a khatam al-Quran (completion of the recitation of the whole Quran) ceremony. Usually, a group is created whether it is through Whatsapp group or others for the juzuk to be divided to each group member.

In our current situation where we are all restricted from going out due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a viral culture of which people would divide the Quran according to the juzuk and they would then recite their juzuk.
