Dua khatam al quran is the supplication a Muslim makes after completing a full reading of the Quran from the first surah to the last. Plenty of people finish the final page, feel something big, and then have no idea what to say. Is there a set wording? Does it matter when or how? This guide keeps the answers short and practical.

Arabic Text
اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِالْقُرْآنِ، وَاجْعَلْهُ لِي إِمَامًا وَنُورًا وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً. اللَّهُمَّ ذَكِّرْنِي مِنْهُ مَا نَسِيتُ، وَعَلِّمْنِي مِنْهُ مَا جَهِلْتُ، وَارْزُقْنِي تِلَاوَتَهُ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ، وَاجْعَلْهُ لِي حُجَّةً يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Dua Khatam Al Quran in English
O Allah, have mercy on me through the Quran, and make it a guide, a light, a direction, and a mercy for me. Remind me of what I forget and teach me what I do not know. Grant me its recitation by night and by day, and make it a proof in my favour, O Lord of the worlds.
Urdu Translation
اے اللہ! قرآن کے ذریعے مجھ پر رحم فرما اور اسے میرے لیے امام، نور، ہدایت اور رحمت بنا دے۔ اے اللہ! اس میں سے جو میں بھول گیا وہ مجھے یاد دلا دے اور جو میں نہیں جانتا وہ مجھے سکھا دے۔ مجھے رات کے اوقات اور دن کے کناروں میں اس کی تلاوت نصیب فرما اور اسے میرے حق میں حجت بنا دے، اے تمام جہانوں کے رب!
A Short Prophetic Dua to Add
There is also a dua about the Quran that is reported from the Prophet ﷺ in Musnad Ahmad. You can add its closing request to your prayer:
أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي
An taj’alal-Qur’ana rabi’a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jala’a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.
Meaning: That You make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the removal of my sadness, and the end of my worry.
اردو: کہ تو قرآن کو میرے دل کی بہار، میرے سینے کا نور، میرے غم کا ازالہ اور میری پریشانی کا خاتمہ بنا دے۔

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dua in English or Urdu?
Yes. Allah understands every language. Begin with the Arabic if you can, then add personal prayers in whichever language lets you speak openly from the heart.
When should I make the dua?
Right after reading the last verses is best. Many people also do it in a gathering, such as after Taraweeh or with family, but any quiet moment works.
What should I do after finishing?
Begin again soon, even with a few verses. Many Muslims restart the same day so the Quran stays part of their routine.
Final Thoughts
Reaching the last page is a real moment. You gave your time to the words of Allah, and that deserves gratitude and a sincere prayer. Make your dua, thank Him, and turn back to the first surah. The finish line is also a fresh start.
