Khatem Services

Khatm al-Qurʾān (Arabic:ختم القرآن) means recitation of Holy Qur’an from beginning to the end. According to Islamic culture, numerous rewards and spiritual effects have been mentioned on complete recitation of the Qur’an, which on a whole, adds a great deal to the likelihood of acceptance of du’as (supplications).

In Islamic societies Khatm al-Qur’an is performed both individually and collectively. In addition, a number of supplications are recommended to be recited after Khatm al-Qur’an, including the Forty Second Du’a in al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya which is an important and comprehensible one.

Rewards for complete recitation of the Holy Qur’an is considered as a touchstone in specifying rewards for other good deeds; that is why the rewards for good deeds are compared with the reward of Khatm al-Qur’an. For instance, the rewards for reciting one verse of the Qur’an in the month of Ramadan or the rewards for three time recitation of Sura al-Ikhlas in other months or the reward for saying a certain prayer at Sunday nights are all equal to the rewards for Khatm al-Qur’an.
