Do I finish it twice three times? What should my Qur'an go be in relation to the other months of the year?

This is a deep question because one of the beautiful things about the Prophet ﷺ is that there is guidance from him

for everything that we do and that takes into consideration every circumstance.

So before we get there, let's establish a few things. Number one, what you read in Ramadan should be more than what you read outside of Ramadan.

Everyone understands that much, right? What you read in Ramadan should depart from your usual recitation of the Qur'an.

It should not be completely abandonment and then getting into it just for one month.

But there should be some discrepancy, a healthy discrepancy, or let's say a variation between your recitation outside of Ramadan and your recitation in Ramadan.

This is something we learn from the pious predecessors. We see this from the Salaf.

Number two, the Hadith where Jabri alaihi s-salam used to come to the Prophet ﷺ and he would review the Qur'an with him in its entirety every year and last year of his life ﷺ, he reviewed it with him twice.

Okay? So there's some level of review, some basis for the idea of going covered to cover in particular within Ramadan.

And the only way Allah describes this month of Ramadan in the Qur'an is by its attribution to the Qur'an.

The one verse, Shahru Ramadan, this is the month of Ramadan in which the Qur'an was revealed.

Therefore, it is the month in which the Qur'an is to be recited like no other month of the year.

So let's go through some rules inshaAllah to Allah because this is actually a profound question and it's an enjoyable one when you start to look at the lives of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ.

I'm going to ask you guys some questions.

Did the Prophet ﷺ actually give an equation for how much Qur'an you should read on a regular basis or some advice to the companions outside of the month of Ramadan?

Is there a number that the Prophet ﷺ mentioned of how many times the Sahaba could do a Khatim, they could finish the Qur'an covered to cover in a month?

Does anybody know? No.

You got the Hadith right but the numbers off.

So you have the right Syrah, but yeah.

Alright, so there is one narration where the Prophet ﷺ prohibits or seemingly prohibits finishing the Qur'an more than once within three days.
