Words people use
Khatm, Khatam, Khatma, Khatmah, and Hatim
These spellings commonly refer to completing the Quran. English speakers may write Khatm, Khatam, Khatma, Khatmah, or Khitmah; Turkish speakers commonly use Hatim. QuranCircle uses “Khatm” for the shared completion and “Juz” for each of the Quran's 30 portions.
The reliable workflow
Organize the Khatm in six clear steps
The tool matters, but good coordination starts with a simple agreement about the goal, timing, and responsibilities.
- 1
Set the intention and deadline
State who the Khatm is for and when recitation should be complete. Use an exact date and time, including the time zone when readers are in different countries.
- 2
Choose link-only or public
Use a link-only circle for families, friends, classes, and private masjid groups. Choose public only when you want anyone browsing QuranCircle to discover and join.
- 3
Create the shared circle
Give the circle a recognizable name, add a short description, and set the target date. QuranCircle prepares all 30 Juz as available portions in one live view.
- 4
Send one invitation link
Put the purpose, deadline, and claim link in one short message. Ask each reader to use the same link so the live tracker remains the source of truth.
- 5
Let readers claim for themselves
Each reader opens the link, enters their name, and claims any available Juz. The shared state prevents two people from accidentally taking the same portion.
- 6
Follow progress and complete
Readers mark their Juz as read when finished. Check what remains before the deadline, send a warm reminder if needed, and thank the group when all 30 are complete.
The shared experience
What your group sees after you share the link
This is the core QuranCircle workflow: one live view of all 30 Juz, designed for participants to act without an account or a separate assignment sheet.

Choose the right visibility
Link-only or public circle?
Link-only
Best for families, friends, students, and known community groups. The circle is available to people with its invite link but is not listed on Browse.
Public
Best when the goal is open community participation. The circle can appear on Browse so any visitor can discover it and claim an available Juz.

Organizer FAQ
Common questions about group Khatms
What is a group Quran Khatm?
A group Quran Khatm is a collective completion of the Quran. Readers contribute by claiming one or more of its 30 Juz, and the group completes the full recitation together.
How does QuranCircle coordinate all 30 Juz?
The organizer shares one circle link. Each reader claims an available Juz, which prevents duplicate claims, and the same view updates as portions are claimed and read.
Do participants need a QuranCircle account?
No. Participants can open the shared link and claim a Juz by name without creating an account. Organizers sign in so they can manage their circles.
Can the same person claim more than one Juz?
Yes. A reader can claim multiple available Juz, which is useful for small groups or when a deadline is approaching.
Should a family Khatm be public?
Usually no. A link-only circle is the better default for a family or private group because it stays off the public Browse page while remaining easy to share.
Do Khatm, Khatam, Khatma, and Hatim mean the same thing?
They are common transliterations used for completing the Quran, although spelling varies by language and community. QuranCircle uses Khatm in English and Hatim in Turkish.
