Recite the Quran at least once, cover to cover, each month. Try to complete each Juz (portion) on its equivalent lunar date. If a month has 29 days, recite the 30th Juz along with the 1st Juz next month.
The recitation has many benefits. It forms a protective barrier against attacks. It also helps you experience time at its natural pace.
Following is the division of Juz (30 parts) as proposed and recommended by Maulana Imran Hosein in his book ‘Quran and the Moon’.
