Occasionallymy mother will recite a khatm of the Quran with the intention of gaining tawfiq in some matter, or for someone in our family to be helped in overcoming some obstacle. For example, if someone is about to have a critical surgery, she will recite a khatm so that it goes smoothly and works out successfully. She also keeps fasts for this purpose. She would like to know if this is allowed.
Also, can we celebrate the moving into a new house with a khatam (a meeting of people who finish the quran) in order to receive blessings?? It is common practise in people from the Indian Subcontinent. Are we allowed to have food at this gathering??
This recitation can be carried out individually and also collectively with maintaining the proper Adab and respect for the book of Allah. However, in the case of collective recitation, it is preferable to recite silently.
As for the eating of food after the recitation is concerned, there is nothing principally wrong in that. However, care should be taken that the objective of the gathering is not lost, and the intention of attending the gathering is not one of eating food.
The benefits and virtues of reciting the Holy Qur'an and sending salawat upon Rasulullah (S) are numerous. Along with bringing great barakah into our lives, these two acts of 'ibadah are a means by which Allah elevates our rank in Jannah.
Though it may be challenging to make a habit of tilawah and salawat individually, there is strength in numbers; Join the DarusSalam community in our goal of collectively completing hundreds of Qur'an khatams and millions of salawat each month. On the final Thursday of the month, a collective du'a is made after 'isha.
How to do the khatam Quran? To do khatam Quran should read one juz every day. Each juz is about 20 pages long, so you could do one of the following: read 4 pages after every obligatory prayer or read 10 pages in the morning or 10 pages in the evening. Or read 5 pages in the morning, noon, afternoon, and night.
Ramadan is the month when we focus on worshiping God and doing all kinds of ibadah and reciting the Quran is one of them. So here are some steps to follow that will help you do Khatam by the end of the month.
From this verse, we understand that we are all different in some ways. Each and every one of us has our own way of thinking and way of life. We all have our strong points and limitations, all the differences between us help us learn from each other.
One of those differences includes the ability to read more than one juz of the Quran or less than one. Some would choose a specific time of the day to recite the Quran and finish a specific number of pages. While others may prefer to read whenever they can.
Q: Is there anything special to read after each surah, when making a khatam, when one comes to surah Duha? Read more about Reciting the takbeeer from Surah Duha till the end when completing the Quraan Having a Quraan khatam once a year for the deceased 2 years ago By user2 Q: My in laws have a culture of performing Quraan khatam once a year for the deceased by having someone or a group reading Quraan and send esaale sawaab to the deceased father or Muslim family members. There is also intermingling of opposite sexes at the event. Cooking etc. and feeding the guests.
We have all come together with the sole purpose of reading Quraan more regularly for the pleasure of Allah and nothing else. The group acts more as a reminder to read Quraan and not forcing people to read as it is entirely up to each member.
As the group started many members found it helpful as the reminders assisted them in making time in their daily lives where as some people had previously not read Quraan throughout the year except for Ramadaan.

In another hadith, Muhammad prophesied the appearance of a number of false prophets before the day of judgement, while asserting his status as the seal of the prophets.[1] It is reported by Thawban ibn Kaidad that Muhammad said, "The Hour will not be established until tribes of my ummah (community) unite with the idolaters, and until they worship idols. And in my ummah there will be thirty liars, each of whom will claim to be a prophet, (but) I am the seal of the prophets, there is no prophet after me."[5][15][16][17] Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman reports that Muhammad said, "In my ummah there will be twenty-seven liars and dajjals, among whom are four women, (but) I am the seal of the prophets, there is no prophet after me".[5][18]
The title is generally regarded by Muslims as meaning that Muhammad is the last in the series of prophets beginning with Adam.[21][22][23] The belief that a new prophet cannot arise after Muhammad is shared by both Sunni and Shi'a Muslims.[24][25] Some of the most prominent historical Sunni texts on creed (aqidah) explicitly mention the doctrine of finality of prophethood.[26] For example, in al-Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah it is asserted that "Every claim to the prophetic office after his is a delusion and a wandering desire."[27][28] In another popular work, al-Aqidah an-Nasafiyyah, it is stated, "The first of the prophets is Adam and the last is Muhammad."[29]
Josef Horovitz suggested two possible interpretations of khatam an-nabiyyin: the last prophet or the one who confirms the authenticity of the previous prophets.[32] Heinrich Speyer agreed with Horovitz.[33]
The first modern academic to have studied in detail the history of the doctrine of finality of prophethood is Yohanan Friedmann.[35] In his seminal article, Finality of Prophethood in Sunni Islam (1986), he concluded that although the notion of finality of prophethood "eventually acquired an undisputed and central place in the religious thought of Islam," it was contested during the first century AH.[1] He states, "While it is true that the phrase khatam an-nabiyyin is generally interpreted as meaning 'the last prophet', the exegetical tradition and other branches of classical Arabic literature preserved material which indicates that this now generally received understanding of the Qur'anic phrase is not the only possible one and had not necessarily been the earliest."[1][35] Due to this Friedmann states that the meaning of khatam an-nabiyyin in its original Qur'anic context is still in doubt.[1]
Wilferd Madelung takes Friedmann's findings into consideration in observing that the original Qur'anic meaning of the term is not entirely certain.[35][36] However, in a more recent paper he states, "Most Muslims at the time no doubt understood it to mean that he was to be the last prophet and Islam was the final religion, as Muslims have commonly understood it ever since."[37]
Uri Rubin holds that the finality of prophethood is a Qur'anic idea, not a post-Qur'anic one, and that the expression khatam an-nabiyyin implies both finality of prophethood and confirmation. In response to Powers and other modern scholars sceptical of the early origin of the doctrine, Rubin concludes from his study "that, at least as far as Sura 33 is concerned, the consonantal structure of the Qur'anic text has not been tampered with, and that the idea of finality of prophethood is well-represented in the text, as well as in the earliest available extra-Quranic materials." Rubin reexamines the early extra-Qur'anic texts cited by Friedmann and other modern scholars, and concludes that rather than indicating that the notion of finality of prophethood is late, the texts confirm the early origin of the belief. He concludes that "there is no compelling reason to assume that the Muslims of the first Islamic century originally understood the Qur'anic khatam an-nabiyyin in the sense of confirmation alone, without that of finality."[35]
In Pakistan voters before voting and leaders before assuming their offices have to declare in writing and take an oath of finality of prophethood, (i.e. Khatm-i-Nabuwat); any one not subscribing is considered claiming otherwise and a non-Muslim and may face persecution and loss of opportunities.[41] Quranic verses and Ahadith pertaining to the finality of prophethood have to be displayed prominently in Government offices, and at entrances to districts along highways.[42]
On 22 June 2020, the Government of Pakistan made it mandatory that the term (Urdu: خاتم النبیین, romanized: Khtaman Nabiyn) be added to the name of Muhammad in textbooks and official documents[43][44][45][46] where previously it was passed on 15 June in the Sindh Assembly.[47][48][49] In October 2021 Punjab, Pakistan provincial assembly recommended inclusion of oath of Khatm-i-Nabuwat in the Nikah (marriage) documents.[50]
Similarly, the Khatumo administration based in Buuhoodle and centred on the Sool, central Sanaag and Ayn regions of northern Somalia, claims its title is derived from the Quranic injunction of Khatam an-Nabiyyin.[51]
The Ahmadiyya Community believe that Muhammad brought prophethood to perfection and was the last prophet to have brought a complete and comprehensive universal law for humanity, but prophethood subordinate to Muhammad is still open.[52][53] New prophets may be born, but they must be seen as subordinate to Muhammad and cannot create any new law or religion.[54] Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, who founded the movement in Qadian, India in 1889, is believed to be the promised Messiah and Mahdi. He claimed a kind of prophethood, believed he had been divinely appointed to revive and universally establish Islam, but not to have add to or change the laws of God or Muhammad.[55] This has caused controversy between Ahmadis and more mainstream Muslims, who accuse them of denying the finality of prophethood.[56][57][58] Ahmadiyya Muslims are subjected to considerable persecution for their beliefs.[59]
