Quran Circle - The Well Circle

What is the Quran Circle?

A group of sisters coming together virtually to complete a collective khatm of Quran monthly. They will also share in a group khatm dua and their reflections from Quranic verses.

How does it work?

Groups: There will be 30 readers per group.
Portion Assignment: Each person will be assigned one portion (a juz or para which is 1/30th of the Quran) to read in either in Arabic, English translation, or both, based on your choice, each month. The next month, you will be assigned to read the next consecutive juz.
Reading Schedule: All group members will be reading their assigned portion on their own within each month.
Collective Completion: Because 30 group members will each read a different juz of the Quran, as a group, we will complete a collective khatm monthly. You will also complete an individual khatm every 2.5 years.
Monthly Gathering: Once at the end of each month we will meet on Zoom for a virtual group dua (khatm dua). You can request any personal duas you would like to be included during this dua session.

What do I get if I join this group?

Access to a whatsapp group where sisters share personal reflections based on their readings & encourage one another to make a regular habit of engaging with the Quran.
Access to a monthly virtual session for dua recitation and hearing a short talk from different speakers.
Information on resources available to advance your personal relationship with the Quran.

FAQ:

What does “khatm” and “juz” mean?

Khatm is a term referring to completion of reading the entire Quran. Juz is a 1/30th section of Quran, also known as para.

What if I don’t yet know how to read the Quran in Arabic?

That is not a problem. You will have the option to participate in the English translation khatm. Resources and encouragement will be shared to help you start your journey with reading the Quran in Arabic.

What if I’m already an advanced reader?

Each person will be reading on their own, so you can read at your own pace. You can also participate in the English translation khatm to enhance your experience, as well as share your reflections and enjoy those of others.

How do we finish a khatm of Quran together?

Each person will be assigned a different juz and read independently on their own time throughout the month.

What if I want to finish an entire khatm myself each month?

You are welcome to read as much Quran as you want throughout the month. But for this Quran circle, your required reading will be one juz.

What if I can’t complete my assigned portion before the end of the month?

There are alternates in the group who will be available to help you out. Just message the group or one of the admins as soon as you know you’ll need help – the earlier the better.

Reward:

Every letter of Quran we recite is rewarded, so even for those who struggle, there is excessive reward in reading it in Arabic.

“Whoever recites one letter of the Quran will be rewarded for it, and the reward will be multiplied ten times.”
– Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) [Tirmidhi]

But reading for understanding, including reading the English translation, also has a lot of value.

“Whoever reads the Quran, he should seek to understand it.”
– Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) [Sahih Al-Bukhari]

The Quran itself gives us many examples of how beneficial it is to us. Read this post for 15 reasons.
