Reading the Qur’aan in Ramadhaan – How the Salaf divided
the portions for reading
There are 29 or 30 days in a lunar month. This table can
help you divide your time to ensure you read the whole Qur’aan within the month
of Ramadhaan or any month.
The printed mushaf today is divided into 30 equal parts to
ease the reading of one part each day. In the past the Salaf did not have this
division but instead relied upon reading full suwar (plural of surah). So it is
better to read a whole surah like the salaf did in order not to break off in
the middle of a topic. This issue is mentioned by Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah
in ‘Majmoo’ al Fataawa’ vol. 13 p405-416.
