Recite a Quran, Give a Quran Ramadan 1447

Your recitation. Their first Quran. One challenge that changes everything.

Ramadan is a month of reflection, renewal, and devotion to the Quran. Across the world, Muslims recite, memorize, and contemplate Allah's words as their hearts soften and their connection to the Quran deepens.

But what if your recitation could do more than benefit you? What if it could help someone else gain access to the very words you cherish?

That's exactly what Recite a Quran, Give a Quran (RQGQ) is all about, and it's back for its sixth year. All you have to do is read or recite 90% or more of the Quran this Ramadan using Tarteel and we'll donate a mushaf (physical Quran) on your behalf to a Muslim in need. It's also completely free to take part!

There's a child in Syria who has never held a Quran. A grandmother in Tanzania who knows Surah Al-Fatiha by heart but has never seen it written on a page she could call her own. A young student in Ghana who walks two hours to the nearest masjid just to glimpse the words of Allah, then walks two hours back, empty-handed.

Meanwhile, across the world, Qurans sit untouched on shelves. Stored in phones that scroll past them. Beautiful, accessible, available, but quiet. What if your Ramadan recitation could place a physical Quran in the hands of someone who's been waiting their entire life to own one?

This is the question that started Recite a Quran, Give a Quran. And over the past few years, it's become something far bigger than anyone imagined.

The Movement That Started with a Simple Idea

It began with a single thought: What if every word you recite during Ramadan could help someone else access the Quran for the first time? Not as charity on the side. Not as an extra step. But as a natural extension of the ibadah you were already doing. Read the Quran. Change a life. Repeat.

The response was immediate. Overwhelming. Thousands of people across the world opened Tarteel, set their intention, and started reciting. Some completed the entire Quran in three days. Others took the full month, reading steadily, page by page. Every verse tracked. Every completion counted. Every recitation tied to a tangible impact.

And then the Qurans started arriving. In Tanzania, children held their first mushaf with outstretched hands, eyes wide. In Ghana, entire communities gathered as boxes of Qurans were distributed, decades of longing finally answered. In Syria, families who had lost everything received the one book that could never be taken from them.

22,000 Qurans. Over multiple Ramadans. Spanning continents. Changing lives. Not because of grand campaigns or complicated systems. But because people like you chose to make their recitation count.

Why This Matters Now More Than Ever

Here's the reality most of us don't see: millions of Muslims around the world do not own a Quran. Not because they don't want one. Not because they don't value it. But because access is a privilege many of us take for granted.

For millions of others, the Quran remains out of reach. A book they hear about in khutbahs. A text they memorize from lessons scribbled on wooden tablets or whispered by teachers. Words they long to hold, to read, to own.

This is the gap Recite a Quran, Give a Quran was built to close. Your ibadah becomes their access. Your consistency becomes their opportunity. Your Ramadan becomes a door that opens for someone else.

How It Works

Read or recite 90% or more of the Quran during Ramadan using Tarteel, and we'll donate a physical mushaf on your behalf.

That's it. No complicated sign-ups. No additional payments. Just you, the Quran, and the intention to make this Ramadan count beyond yourself.

Track your progress as you go. Watch your completion percentage rise. Know that every page you read is connected to something bigger. When you finish, a Quran is printed and delivered to a Muslim in need.

Your name isn't on it. Your face isn't attached. But your recitation made it possible. This is sadaqah jariyah in its purest form. Lasting impact. A gift that keeps giving long after Ramadan ends.

This Year, We're Aiming Higher

Last Ramadan, thousands of you completed the challenge. The impact was undeniable. Lives changed. Communities strengthened. The Quran spread to places it had never reached before. But the need is still immense. And this year, we're scaling. The goal: 5X the impact.

More participants. More completions. More Qurans printed and distributed across the world. This isn't just about hitting a number. It's about a movement. A global community of Muslims who refuse to let their Ramadan be just about them.

No Barriers. No Excuses. Just Start.

Technology has removed every obstacle. You don't need to live near a masjid. You don't need to carry a physical mushaf everywhere. You don't need to wonder if you're making progress. Tarteel tracks your recitation in real time. Set your intention. Read. Recite. Let the app handle the rest.

Prefer reading from your own mushaf at home? No problem. With Tarteel Premium, you can manually log your offline sessions and they count toward the challenge. Because this isn't about forcing a specific method. It's about making participation accessible to everyone.

Can I track recitation from my physical mushaf?

Yes! If you have Tarteel Premium, you can manually log your offline sessions and they'll count toward your 90% completion. This is perfect for people who prefer reading from a physical copy at home.
