How Many Pages Are in the Quran? (All Editions Answered)
The standard Quran (Madani Mushaf) has 604 pages — but different editions vary. Here is everything you need to know.
The Standard Answer: 604 Pages
The Madani Mushaf — published by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran in Madinah — is the global standard used across Saudi Arabia, the Gulf, and increasingly the rest of the Muslim world.
- 604 pages of Quranic text
- 15 lines per page
- Each page ends at a complete sentence or meaningful pause
- Each Juz spans exactly 20 pages
This clean 20-pages-per-Juz structure is why the Madani Mushaf is preferred by Huffaz and daily readers worldwide.
How Many Pages in Other Quran Editions?
Different countries print the Quran in different formats. The number of words and verses is always identical — only the layout differs.

Why Is the Madani Mushaf 604 Pages?
The structure is designed for practical reading: 30 Juz × 20 pages = 600 pages of Quranic text.

- In Ramadan, Muslims complete the Quran reading 20 pages per day
- 2 pages after each of the 5 daily prayers = complete Quran every 2 months
