The Duration of Completing the Recitation of the Noble Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
You are asking what is the longest duration for completing the recitation of the Qur'an?
Answer:
It has no fixed duration, and the best thing to do in this regard is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As when he asked him about how to read the Qur'an. Abdullah informed him that he would complete the recitation every day and fast perpetually. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to fast and break the fast, to sleep and stay awake, and to complete the recitation every month. He said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2413Sahih (Darussalam) Then Abdullah asked for more, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) settled with him on a week, saying: Read it in every week, in every seven days.
So the best is for him to read it in seven days, and if he takes longer, there is no blame on him; in a month, in twenty days, or more. The minimum time in which he should read it is three days, as in the hadith:Sunan Abi Dawud 1390Sahih (Al-Albani) or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
So if a person makes it a habit to read it in seven days, as many of the Companions used to do, they would divide it into seven parts and complete the recitation in every week. This was the practice of a group of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
On the first day: al-Baqarah, Ali 'Imran, and al-Nisa; on the second day: al-Ma'idah, al-An'am, al-A'raf, al-Anfal, and al-Tawbah, and so on until the seven are completed: three, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen. The seventh part is the part of the Mujmal: Qaf and the Glorious Qur'an... to the end.
This is the practice of a number of the Companions, and it is a good practice, involving ease and no hardship. And if he reads it in a month, or in twenty days, or more, the matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

Indeed your self has a right upon you, your Lord has a right upon you, your guest has a right upon you, and your family has a right upon you. So give each the right they are due.
إن لنفسك عليك حقًا، وإن لأهلك عليك حقًا، وإن لضيفك عليك حقًا، فأعط كل ذي حق حقهSo the best is for him to read it in seven days, and if he takes longer, there is no blame on him; in a month, in twenty days, or more. The minimum time in which he should read it is three days, as in the hadith:
He who finishes the recitation of the Qur'an in less than three days does not understand it.
لا يفقه من قرأه في أقل من ثلاثSo if a person makes it a habit to read it in seven days, as many of the Companions used to do, they would divide it into seven parts and complete the recitation in every week. This was the practice of a group of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
