Ramadan reading list

[qatarperegrine]

I know at least a couple people are reading the Qur'an along with me during Ramadan. So far I've been posting a note every day about what they next day's readings are. Yesterday I finally found a comprehensive breakdown of the 30 juz', so I'm posting it here so that you don't have to check my blog every day to find out the next day's portion. I don't think this is the schedule actually being followed by Qataris -- I think they read Juz' 1 at tarawih on the 14th -- but if we stick to this, we'll make it through the Qur'an by Eid!

Edit -- pronunciation for Mum: "juz" is pronounced with a u like in "gut" and a very z-like z; don't let it turn into an s. The j is hard here in Qatar, but varies in other parts of the Arab-speaking world.

So are you a bad Muslim if you do Ramadan "student-style" and stay up all night the last night to do all the readings at once?

'Sides, that way they're fresher in your mind if there's a pop quiz.

Actually, you're a very GOOD Muslim if you stay up all night reading the Qur'an on Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Power. A hadith says, "Whoever stays up (in prayer and remembrance of Allah) on the Night of Power, fully believing (in Allah's promise of reward) and hoping to seek reward, he shall be forgiven for his past sins."

The problem is that nobody knows when the Night of Power is; it might be any of the last ten nights of Ramadan. So you have to stay up all night for the last TEN nights just in case that's the night! At the Islamic Center they said that particularly devout men will up and move into the mosque for the last ten nights of the month and do nothing but cram. Talk about a pop quiz!

Indulgences?

It's not a pop quiz. It's Imam quiz.
