This exciting project was introduced in Ramadan 2010. For those of you not familiar with the concept of the group Khatim please allow us to introduce you to this beautiful path of spiritual sisterhood! The blessed Qur’an is a book that should be read and enjoyed by every Muslim daily. It is recommended that a person try and complete a Khatim (a cover-to-cover reading of the Qur’an) once a month. It is likely, however, that few of us (no matter how sincere) are able to read through the entire Qur’an once every month.
Please join Teacher Saira Abubakr at the end of each Khatim for our Monthly Reflection Hour and short talk. To receive an invitation, please click HERE to sign join our mailing list.
A group Khatim is a collaborative effort between fellow Muslims to read the entire Qur’an monthly. Each Khatim member signs up for at least one Juz (chapter) that they are responsible for reading that month. At the end of the month, a group du’aa will be led by a Rahmah Foundation teacher live during one of our online classes – all are welcomed to attend! What an amazing and beautiful way to get 30 or more people to make du’aa for you monthly! The concept of the group Khatim has been a long standing tradition in the Muslim world and something we hope and pray we can bring to The Rahmah Foundation sisters with love and sincerity.
To sign up for your Juz, please follow these 5 simple steps:
1. Click on the “sign-up sheet” link in the panel on the right side of the screen.
2. You will be taken to a Google document spreadsheet for that month’s Khatim. Please enter your name and email address next to the Juz(s) you wish to read. Please note: in order to keep things orderly, please pick a Juz from Khatim 1 until all 30 Juz are completely taken. If Khatim 1 is completely full, only then pick a Juz from Khatim 2, etc.
3. Before you start reading your Juz be sure to read the “Intentions” page found in panel on the right side of the screen.
4. Once you have completed your Juz, please return to the “sign-up sheet” link and fill in ”Y” under the completed column of the spreadsheet.
5. Then please sign up for another Juz!
If you wish, you may add specific du’aa requests for you, your family and loved ones by adding these du’aas on the “Du’aa Page” found in the panel on the right hand side of the screen.
To help keep everyone on track, The Rahmah Foundation will send out email reminders to all of our readers reminding them of the deadline date of when to finish their Juz.
We pray that you will all join us on this exciting venture with our most beloved book, the Qur’an, and that reading Qur’an monthly will become an unceasing habit of yours for the remainder of the year. What better way to keep up good habits then to do so in the company of a blessed group that will gently nudge you and remind you to read! Don’t delay! Sign up today!
