Sometimes we ask the simplest questions, and they carry the heaviest meaning.
Like this one: “How many pages are in the Quran?”
At first, it sounds like something you’d Google quickly and move on. But when you sit with it, you realize—it’s not just about pages. It’s about the weight of those pages, the breath you take when you read them, and the way they slowly shape your heart.
The Straight Answer
If you’re holding the Madinah Mushaf—the most widely used printed Qur’an—you’ll find 604 pages.
That’s the standard. Clean, 15 lines per page. Printed the same way almost everywhere in the world. Some other prints may differ, but 604 is the number most Muslims know.
Why This Number Feels So Special
When I first learned this, I felt relieved. 604 pages? That suddenly makes the Qur’an feel reachable.
Think about it:
-
2 pages after every salah = finish in 2 months.
-
20 pages a day = done in 1 month.
-
Even if you just do a page a day, in less than 2 years—you’ll have walked through the whole Qur’an.
The Qur’an isn’t a mountain you can’t climb. It’s a path. Step by step. Page by page.
More Than Just Pages
But the truth is—the Qur’an isn’t really measured in pages. It’s measured in hearts.
Children as young as 7 carry the entire thing in memory. Elders who can’t see anymore still recite verses they memorized in their youth. Across centuries, across oceans, across languages—the Qur’an has been held, preserved, loved.
The miracle isn’t that it’s 604 pages. The miracle is that it has never changed.
A Little Reflection
I remember the first time I picked up the Madinah Mushaf. The green cover, the golden border. I opened it randomly, and the words felt alive. Someone once told me:
“Don’t look at the Qur’an as 604 pages to finish. Look at it as 604 conversations with Allah.”
And I’ve never forgotten that.
So, How Many Pages Are in the Quran?
The quick answer: 604 pages in the standard Madinah Mushaf.
The real answer: enough pages to change your life, if you let them.
